the fact that you receive spam means that a spam attack has been successful. Now, if you click on the link inside of a spammed email, that is a phishing attack and you are on the hook. XSS attacks are usually attached to web applications or web servers. Vishing is (VOIP) phone phishing.

I think C as well, it is by definition a phishing attack if they are trying to get you to click on a link.
