The correction "changing 'Ross' to 'he'" would make the sentence more clear. Right now, the "he" in the original sentence is unclear who it's referring to, so by saying 'Ross', the reader understands that Ross is asking his older brother to stop.

Changing "he" to "Damien" is incorrect, because, although the sentence is a little unclear, we know that the "he" is referring to "Ross".

Changing "him" to "them" is wrong because Ross is chasing a single person, not multiple people.

Finally, changing "Damien" to "him" is wrong because the name "Damien" is clarifying who is Ross' older brother.
