I too missed this question. I did not understand why it was false. I still don't. But mine is not to reason why, especially when it come to NFHS.
My thought process was this: IFF in affect. Fly ball dropped intentionally, batter is out, ball remains live. However, a bunt (or attempt) is not an IFF - so as stated before the "in affect" doesn't apply any more. So this is simply an intentionally dropped "fly ball." In which case, the ball is dead and batter is out - runners return.
This seems to be the logic pointed out previously in this thread. It's also the logic I see in the rules pointed out in the OP.
Did I miss something? Other than the "correct" answer to this question, I mean.
