The Correct Option is A

Concept: Intelligence tests are classified into verbal, non-verbal, and performance tests.

• Verbal Tests: Require language understanding and verbal responses.
• Non-verbal Tests: Use figures, symbols, and patterns.
• Performance Tests: Require physical manipulation or practical activity.

Step 1: Analyzing each test individually.
(A) Stanford-Binet Test:
This is a verbal intelligence test. It requires comprehension of language and verbal responses. (B) Alexander's Passalong Test:
This is a performance test involving arrangement of blocks and patterns. (C) Raven's Progressive Matrices:
This is a non-verbal intelligence test based on pattern recognition. (D) Draw-a-Man Test:
This is a non-verbal/performance-based test involving drawing tasks.

Step 2: Identifying the verbal test.
Among all the given tests, only the Stanford-Binet Test is verbal in nature.

Step 3: Selecting the correct option.
Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(A)\ \text{(A) only}} \]
