It's not a test question, it's an answer by the secretary rules-editor to a question submitted to him.
My interp is that the ball hitting the floor before A gets to it is implied (but I agree it could be stated). I don't think I've ever seen a ball deflected to the back court that went more than a couple of feet before hitting the floor (or being caught).
