sounds like D.
Your friend sounds rather professional! The following are some examples I make up for each usage.
（Explanation usages I find on an online Chinese dictionary）
A（交付，送与） 我把票给了检票员。 送给，献给
B Are you sure it is used BEHIND 2 noun?
If ahead of nouns:（把动作或态度加到对方） 给我(noun)找(verb)了个麻烦(noun)
E 我快给冻死了！=我快冻死了！

If you are learning Chinese,you should know a special sentence pattern named “把”字句.In this sentence, obviously it's a “把”字句 and the structure is "把……给……"，for example, 我把树给砍了 means i've cut the tree or the tree was cut.It's quite oral.If you omit it,the sentence is also right.

D like 他把水给倒了
