Don,

C is the correct answer. This isn't a NFHS test. Don't think in highly specific terms. If a runner or BR may be put out while in route to a base by tagging the base instead of the runner, consider it a force out. After all, like a "forced" runner, the BR is forced to advance to 1B if they wish to be safe. (Exception: Where players are not required to advance on a HR or four-base aware).
