True. It was revised this year to include R's catch of scrimmage or free kicks, but I would still consider R as defense.

Why would the receiving team be considered the defense? The rule mentions "the defense or the receiving team". I changed my answer from True to False because the word "only".

yes, it says "defense or the receiving team", but it also says ..."the ball belongs to B at the spot where the pass or fumble was intercepted or recovered or the kick was caught or recovered".
A and K are synonomous like B and R. These team designations are retained until the ball is next declared ready for play. (2-42-4)
