Well i look at it this way:
When a batter hits a HR he is awarded 4 bases. If, let's say, that batter misses 3rd base and the 3rd base coach grabs him, and directs him backwards to retouch the base, we have an out, don't we?
I think the situation Carl gives us is no different.
My answer is C.
BobJenkins also has a very good answer.

After a home run over the fence, you suggest that's an out. But it isn't in FED. Check out CB 3.2.2.

This gets more interesting by the minute. In CB 3.2.2 Situation A the coach helped the runner to his feet while he was running the bases after a HR. Now if he were to grab the runner after he missed 3B and force him back to the base to tag is the coach allowed to provide this kind of assistance, vs. helping a runner to his feet who has already tagged the base? The coach could holler at him to return to tag, but can he grab him and make him tag?
Carl's case is different, since the ball is live.
I still have C though, obstruction awards 3B and coach interference causes the out.
