Any penalty can be declined - the offended team can always refuse the yardage.

More importantly, though, why would it be B's ball if the penalty is declined? It's a DB foul, so the down never started. If B declines, it's still 4th down on the B40. If they accept, it's 4th down from the B45.

Side question - if B declines the penalty, does the clock start on the ready?
