Case (d) does not cover the original situation. Case (c) does. Case (c) is "while A1's try attempt is IN FLIGHT and there is neither player nor team control." The original sitch is "A1 releases ball on a try. While the ball is IN FLIGHT, R1 blows whistle. Ball enters basket!"
Case (d), on the other hand, is for the situation where the accidental whistle comes "AFTER A1's try had gone through the cylinder for a successful field goal."
The correct answer is that "the ball is put in play by the team entitled to the throw-in using the alternating-possession procedure." It ain't civilized, but it's correct.
