9.7.3: "Any pass in flight may be batted in any direction, by an eligible receiver unless it is a backward pass batted forward by the passing team."
For a backwards pass, I think A would be pretty crazy to bat the ball down to avoid an interception, and that's the only case where it would be illegal (assuming it was batted forward).
