Good question - but the answer is no. NF 8-3-6 mandates that the try is replayed. Neither team has any option (although A can refuse the distance part of the penalty if they wish).
NF 8-3-6:
If during an unsuccessful try, a foul by A occurs, the penalty is obviously declined, the results of the play stand and there is no replay. If B fouls, the down is replayed after enforcement.
