In NFHS, illegal touching is enforced using the all but one principle, and since this is a loose ball play, it is enforced from the previous spot (A's 25). Ineligible downfield is also enforced from the previous spot. Since illegal touching carries an additional loss of down penalty, B should accept the illegal touching and decline the ineligible downfield. This makes it A's ball, 4th and 10 at A's 20.
See the 2006 Rules interpretations, Situation 3 (a).
Are you asking for NFHS, NCAA, NFL, or Canadian rules?
