Right answer, but slightly misleading. After a balk in FED the ball is dead immediately. So the pitch can't happen, and there's no play for the offense to want to keep.

That's different from OBR, where the pitch can happen and be nullified (for a true "no-pitch") if the offense fails to advance everyone.

Subtle distinction, perhaps, but that's why we get the big money!
