This is the only false statement in this list. Icarus says that Miracle, the software he wants to buy, fulfills the needs (of the company) with the appropriate amount of security. He does not make this statement about Delavigne's current software.
This is a true statement. When Icarus mentions the Miracle software to Bob, Bob reacts very strongly, saying "Whoa, whoa! Miracle! Miracle costs big bucks, Icarus!" If something costs "big bucks", it is very expensive. "Big Bucks" is a common American expression indicating high cost or large amounts of money. Here it indicates that Bob is concerned about the price of the Miracle software.
This is a true statement. Icarus tells Bob, "I think you should speak with Mr. Delavigne". He is suggesting that Bob speak with Bruno regarding the new software program.
This is a true statement. Early in the dialogue, Icarus informs Bob that Bruno "has authorized the company to purchase a more current software suite. To "approve" shares a similar meaning with 'to authorize" in this context, for example: I will approve the marriage, as long as your boyfriend's family pays for the cakes.

1 make: This is correct. In English, one 'makes' an agreement. 'Should' (a modal auxiliary) is always followed by a verb in the infinitive form (without 'to') in constructions such as these. For example: You should GO to the meeting, we should FIND a new apartment.
2 do: This is correct. To 'do one's best' is to 'make an effort', or to try to accomplish something to the best of one's ability. Wendy uses the simple future tense in this construction, formed with the future auxiliary 'will' + the infinitive form of the main verb. Example: I will BUY a house, We will START a family.
3 to make: This is correct. 'To make a few bucks' is an informal expression meaning 'to make money'. For example, 'robbing banks is a good way to make a few bucks'. This expression is formed with the verb 'to make'. Note that 'bucks' is a slang term for 'dollars', and the entire expression is synonymous with 'to make money'.
4 to do: This is correct. 'To do one's hair/to do one's make up', is to style one's hair/to apply cosmetics. Wendy is speaking about an event in the future, using the construction 'be going to + infinitive'.
