Not necessarily. In reality, A will accept the penalty and that's how you'd probably present it to their captain, but they do have the option to decline. To understand why they'd decline the penalty would require you to get into the mind of a coach. Oooohhh, scary place.

Actually BulldogMcC is right. B's fouls will be enforced. Here is one where A would WANT to decline, but they MUST accept the penalty by rule.
Two seconds in 2Q, with 3/5 @ A-20. Team A is flagged for having only 6 men on the line of scrimmage. A1 fumbles the ball at the A-15 and B1 recovers and advances to the A-5. During B1's run, B2 blocks A3 in the back at the A-10. Time for the half expires during the down.
