I am thinking they just get the ball and the 15 yards and loss of down is not an issue.
What if the pass was complete for a first down and OPI was called? I think that B get the ball by declining the penalty - now a turnover on downs - correct?
I am unable to locate that sit in case book

CANADIAN RULING:
Decline the penalty reverts to an incomplete pass, so a turnover on downs.
Accept the penalty is loss of 15 yards (unrestricted), down repeated.
