A legal forward pass must go forward - so if B does anything to prevent or delay that from happening would be pass interference.

Slapping the snap requires B to start moving before the ball is snapped. So does a blitz - so a blitz is illegal motion by the defense.

A touchdown requires the ball to break the plane of the goal line. Anything by B to prevent or delay this is an unfair act.

Boy - this game sure is a lot more complicated with this new rule book!
