(C) "gaffe"
A gaffe is a mistake. The text would read "His conduct at the state dinner was a cavalcade of blunders, one gaffe following another until the evening ended" if this phrase were added. The comma signifies that the word that is missing is equivalent to the word error.
A social misstep can be described using either the words "blunder" or "gaffe." The answer is not (A). A "query" is an enquiry or question. (B) is the wrong answer. Gibe is slang for a mocking comment.
