Listening quiz

David: Hello
Paul: Hello, David? This Paul.
David: Well...hi!
Paul: Listen. You know we're supposed to meet at 6 tonight for dinner?
David: Yeah? Is there a problem?
Paul: No, but can we meet at 7 o'clock instead? I think I am going to be late.
David: No problem. Actually that's better for me too.
Paul: Great. See you at 7 o'clock.

What is this call about? Circle the right answer.
(A) a request to change a meeting time
(B) an offer to change a meeting time
(C) a promise to change the meeting time

I chose (A), but I think (B) is probably OK. What do you think? Please advise.

Hi seems confusing a bit but I would choose A. You should keep in mind this sentence: No, but can we meet at 7 o'clock instead? I think I am going to be late.
