In other words, the interpretation on (c) is that the whistle does NOT cause the ball to become dead. Score the goal and play on with a throw-in anywhere along the baseline by Team B. I was under the impression that the whistle killed the play. It would make sense, however, the case book doesn't specify anything about a goal being scored. Perhaps the wording in (d) should read "while the shot was in the air or after A1's try had gone through the cylinder for a successful field goal.
Are we interpreting this correctly?

6-7-5 exception The ball does not become dead on an official's whistle UNTIL THE TRY ENDS.
So a whistle during C will result in D, per this exception.
