On interference by a BR the runner closest to home, at the time of the pitch is put out .
When is a batter runner out on an IFF.Not when it is called ( if so then B would be correct) but when the ball is fair ie when it touches a player in fair territory.
This happened when the collision occured so in fact we have interference by a BR not a player who was already out (and therefore ceased to be a BR .)
(NOTE : This is ISF but I would expect ASA would have much the same rulings

The batter-runner is out when the IF is declared. (ASA 8.2.I) It is negated if the ball becomes foul.
