I practiced a similar question, and I think the answer is B) Quid Pro Quo because Pat is making the job conditional on the dinner.

This seems like a clear case of quid pro quo, but I wonder if it could also be seen as hostile if Sammy felt uncomfortable.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about quid pro quo being when job benefits are tied to sexual favors.

I think this might be quid pro quo since Pat is implying that the dinner date is linked to the job offer.
