The question involved wording listed in Rule 6-4-1. The rule uses "establishes" while the Question used a synonym "starts".
The question fails to recognize that there is more than one aspect to AP. We are left in limbo to try to decipher which aspect the questioner is alluding to.
Start of the AP (WHAT)?
The AP procedure? If so then the program answer of false is correct. It is the team gaining control of the jump ball that ESTABLISHES the AP procedure thus setting the arrow to the opposing team. (By the way, the arrow is set the same way if I change 6-4-1 to read "The team NOT obtaining control of the jump ball establishes the Alternating-possession procedure, and the arrow is set toward their basket".
The AP throw-in? If the questioner wanted to know if A would start the first AP throw-in following the first jump ball because B controlled the jump then the program answer is wrong.
These kinds of questions show the ignorance of question makers toward the rules. Ambiguity has no place in these questions either.
