IMO:
Situation A is textbook obstruction. Period.
Situation B is probably a good play. No matter (in my mind) you didn't see possession, you didn't see no possession at any time, and possession existed at the end. I don't think you can or should take possession away in this play.
Situation C is a HTBT. If runner changed her path long before any reason to do that, that was her decision. If she changed her path because the play was imminent, and there was no possession at that point, I have obstruction then, even if the ball arrives and is possessed.
Per the 2005 NFHS/Referee handout, they need to forget about a train wreck; it doesn't exist.
