While it is true the 5 yard penalty against A leaves the mark short of the line to gain, accepting the penalty also means replaying 4th down. The ball is still in A's possession, thus the 15 yard against B takes the mark beyond the line to gain. 1st and 10 A.
Another resent thread talks about giving the best choice to the captain first. While I agree you should not block the captain's view from his coach, I look him straight in the eye and say "Listen to me closely - this is important". Give his best choice first and in this case I would include the information "if he declines the penalty the half is over - if he accepts the penalty, A will be given and an untimed down with the opporunity to score". I want to make sure I have his undivided attention before give him any options.
With the coaches around here - they would be telling him to take the penalty!
