My problem with J/R is that the touch of the plate, by itself, causes the run to be taken off. Think of the mechanic: "Score that run" on the time play when R2 crosses the plate ahead of the 3rd out at 2nd, then "unscore that run" when R2 touches the plate. No thanks.
In all 3 codes, a successful appeal of a baserunning error can only result in a runner being declared out, not a repositioning of events that have already transpired. If R2 has come back to touch the plate, there can be no successful appeal, since the baserunning error has been corrected. The PU would give the safe sign to rule on the appeal. I don't think there is any other option. My answer is A.
