The interception has nothing to do with the IG call. In this case it's simply a foul by the offense prior to a change of possession that produced a score for the defense. B's option would be to accept the penlty for IG (5 yards, loos of down, from the spot of the pass, 4th down for A) or decline the penalty and accept the results of the play, which would be their TD.
