Shipwreck, you are absolutely right. The correct answer should have been "e: none of the above." I should have pursued the matter at the rules meeting, and thank you for bringing this up.

ASA case play 4.6-7 is question #45:

R1 is on 1B with no outs, unreported substitute B2 is at bat with a 1-ball, 1-strike count. B2 grounds into a force out at 2B retiring R1. Before the next pitch, the defensive team notifies the umpire that B2 is unreported.

Ruling: R1's out remains. B2 is removed from 1B and disqualified. A legal substitute assumes the batting position and assumes a count of 1-ball, 1-strike. (4-6B)

(Note: This is verbatim from the case book; thus the various grammar/punctuation errors.)

Once again, ASA has failed to proofread their test.
