Mike, the funny thing is that the first sentence you quote from the supplement seems to match answer C perfectly.
Incidently, I had heard the "bat crosses over the plate" as criteria by the casual fan or coach but once I started umpiring, I was trained to NOT use those things as criteria but to simply judge, did the batter offer or did he not?
Admittedly, I did not realize the Fed had weakly codified the myth.
