The confusing part of this may be the fact that an
illegal forward pass is
NOT considered a loose ball play. The succeeding spot is the spot of the pass, not the previous spot, so because both the spot where the play ended and the spot of the foul are both from A's end zone, either choice of accepting the foul or declining it produce a safety.
