Didn't quite make the Wed time constraint but...If the choices are limited to A and B, B is correct, otherwise to make a short story long:
Art. 2 . . . A kick ends when a player gains possession or when the ball becomes dead while not in player possession.
When any legal free kick or scrimmage kick:
1. Which is not a scoring attempt or which is a grounded scoring attempt, breaks the plane of R’s goal line.
A kick is a loose ball play--
e. When any loose ball:
1. Is simultaneously caught or recovered by opposing players.
2. Is on the ground motionless and no player attempts to secure possession.
3. Touches, or is touched by, anything inbounds other than a player, substitute, replaced player, an official, the ground or authorized equipment. In this case the ball will be put in play in accordance with the procedure for an inadvertent whistle as in 4-2-3b.
f. When the kickers catch or recover any free kick anywhere, and when the kickers catch or recover a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone and when the kickers are first (i.e., before any touching by the receivers) to touch a scrimmage kick after it has come to rest beyond the neutral zone and between the goal lines.
g. Following a valid or invalid fair-catch signal given by any member of the receiving team when a scrimmage kick or free kick is caught or recovered by any member of the receiving team beyond, in or behind the neutral zone.
