Just to clarify, in (a) it doesn't necessarily belong to B. "The official must determine if B would have come down inbounds without the contact by A. If he would have, the ball belongs to B, if not the ball belongs to A, as there was no change of possession."
In (b), the pass is incomplete because it was never caught. Since he never touched the ground inbounds, by definition he never caught the ball.
2-4-1
A catch is the act of establishing player possession of a live ball which is in flight, and first contacting the ground inbounds or being contacted by an opponent in such a way that he is prevented from returning to the ground inbounds while maintaining possession of the ball.
