1st and 10 for B at the 30. I would never give B the option to decline the penalty in this situation.


The penalty did not cause the change of possession, the result of the enforcement with the loss of down left A short of the line to gain after 4th down.
A penalty itself never causes loss of possession. In this case the fact a penalty occurred and the down could not be replayed, the ball was turned over on downs.
