Change this sentence to a shorter version by using direct and indirect object pronouns.

From here:

enter link description here

le -> se Change

Indirect object pronouns "le" and "les" are changed to "se" when followed by "lo," "la," "los," or "las" to make pronunciation a lot easier.

So your option A2 is the correct one- both “le” and “les” become “se”, never “ses”.
