T. Easy one, too. Who can argue about it? It's obvious and it's clearly the rule.

I'm simply going to call an OOB infraction on B and award the ball back to A. The only catch is that A's throw-in now becomes a "spot" throw-in and you may have given Team B an advantage.

Worst possible option. If you want to issue a delay warning, since the plane was broken first, I can see it. If you want to completely ignore it and let A continue their play, I can see it. I don't agree with either of those, but I can see why you'd go that way.
But calling it OOB and giving A a spot throw-in is penalizing them at least twice. You killed their surprise play (or at least, unorthodox), you
didn't give 2 FTs that they deserved, and then you force them into a
spot throw-in. No thanks.
