CO ump, I don't think that it is a Ala Carte choice. I think when you decline the "distance penalty", you are declining the distance yardage and the ABO spot.
Another thought, the rule book uses the wording the "distance penalty" for any foul can be declined.
The enforcement philosophy is based on the fact that a team is given the advantage of the distance which is gained without assistance of a foul. It is assumed that the only foul which would give this aid is a foul by the offense behind the basic spot. Therefore, all fouls but this one, that is a foul br the offense behind the basic spot, are penalized from the basic spot unless the spot is otherwise specified by rule.
If the rule book had specified the "distance yardage" can be declined, then we could go to the ABO spot for the enforcement. Since the rule book uses "distance penalty", I assume that this includes the ABO spot and the penalty yardage.
