NCAA ruling 9-4-3
"A ball in player possession may not be batted forward by a player of that team" PENALTY - 15yds from the basic spot.
On Play 2, B's options are:
1) Decline the penalty and since the ball was fumbled forward by A short of the line to gain at the B5 on 4th down, B 1/10 @ B5 (B takes a knee and the game is over). Clock on ready.
2) Assuming the bat occurred at the B5, if B elected to take the penalty, then A 4/18 @ B20.

Ditto for NFHS, Rule 9-7-4.
The referee should NEVER let B take option 2 in this particular situation.
