I live in an apartment and I really would like to not call my landlord for this problem. Days ago the sink began to drain water very slowly, until yesterday it kinda stopped draining it. I tried lots of grease cleaners, removed all pipes and cleaned them and they dont seem like the problem. When I put water to the last pipe that goes into the wall (pic 1) it goes away fast, but when I put the trap part (pic 2, I think thats what it is, but I have only searched some hours online) and I put water it blocks. Even when I put it all together the water wont drain. It is a single sink and the pipes are also connected to the dishwasher.

I think you are saying that when you use hose C to insert water into A or B as a test, the water backs up, and spills into the orange tub. Is that correct?

Need to call the landlord. Nothing that you did is wrong and only proved that the block is in the wall or main drain somewhere.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
