10-4-6 . . . The basic spot is the 20-yard line for fouls by either team when the opponent of the team in possession at the time of the foul is responsible for forcing the ball across the goal line of the team in possession, and the related run ends in the end zone and is followed by a loose ball, regardless of where the loose ball becomes dead.

Neither part of this clause applies: the EZ referred to is (in this play) B's EZ, and the OP ends in A's EZ.
And, as Altor points out, the play did not involve a fumble by B.
CT1 is correct: you have a running play by B that ends in A's EZ, where the result of the play is a TD for B. The basic spot would thus be A's GL, and since the foul was committed by the offense (B) behind the basic spot, ABO enforcement would make this a spot foul.
But you don't need to go through ABO reasoning here. I pointed out in post #2, 8-5-2c gives you the result of a safety directly.
