What examples of verbal behavior are happening here?

Marie was talking with Sam about Starbucks and said, "I love frappucinos, can you grab me one of the Caramel ones if you're stopping?" and Sam said, "sure thing!" When Sam came back with the drinks Marie said, "oh no! This is a peanut butter frappucino and I'm allergic!" Sam said, "I'm sorry, the server must have confused the orders".

A. Mand only

B. Intraverbal, Mand, Tact

C. Intraverbal and Tact 

D. Intraverbal and Mand

C. Intraverbal and Tact

This was NOT a mand because Sam did not bring what Marie asked for. She tacted the peanut butter frappucino and intraverbal was the conversation between them both.
