I agree with Steve on all three.
Hopefully the book has been corrected this year. If not, IMO, the rule supercedes the definition because it says specifics about the runner/fielder and the definition just defines "obstruction", a term not used in rule 8-4-3.
Even if "about to receive" is/was still part of the rule, it does not fit any of the three cases, although (B) could be ruled that way by some.
