For accuracy's sake, the try is over and the ball is dead when it is apparent the drop kick or place kick will not score.
The question was about a two point conversion, not a kick. Ron's statement is is accurate as well. If the ball isn't kicked and B gains possession, the try is over.
I was just pointing out that "apparant that the try has failed" deals more with kicks than a try for 2. On a try for 2 the try ends if it is successful, B secures possession, or the ball otherwise becomes dead. I just felt that to say "apparant that the try has failed" is a bit ambiguous when talking about a 2-point attempt.
