The correct response for "the item nearest you" is "aquel abrigo."
However, note that "el abrigo" can just mean "the coat" and does not indicate distance.
If you actually meant to indicate the nearest item based on proximity, "aquel" typically refers to something farther away (not nearest), and "ese" refers to something that is somewhat near but not closest, while "el" is neutral.
Therefore, it seems there may be some confusion in your wording about proximity and why 'aquel' might be chosen in a general context; none strictly indicate "nearest."
Still, if you want to imply something like closeness vs. distance, typically "este abrigo" (this coat) would suggest the nearest coat, but that wasn't one of your options.
In summary, based on your prompt, there appears to be an inconsistency. If you meant to refer to the closest item, "este abrigo" would be appropriate (if it had been listed).
