C) Double free throw violation
D) Officials cannot decide possession on out of bounds

After looking in the rules book, I can justify that they are ALL A/P situations.
What say you?

Beemer:

With all due respect, you can NOT "justify that they are ALL A/P situations".

The correct answer is B because by definition A, C, and D are AP Situations; B may be or may NOT be an AP Situation. Hint: See Rule 9, Throw-in Violations. Also, check Rule 4 and Rule 8 for the definition of when a Free-throw ends, and the same rules in the Casebook with regard to B happening to a free-throw when there are more free throws to be attempted.
