Says answer is C per rule 4-38. Aren't B and C basically same situations? And why isn't procedure used? Thanks in advance

I think I'm going to go with C being correct for NFHS. The resumption of play rule in rule 4 says it is used when a team doesn't make a player available for a throwin or after a timeout or intermission. I think it is used after a foul if a team doesn't make a thrower available.

Rule 10 also says it is a team T for delaying the game by more than a minute in either half. This applies when a team isn't on the court to start the second half. If they are on the court the resumption of play procedure is used. It could be written much better obviously but i think we use the resumption of play in all those situations unless a team isn't on the court at end of halftime. It's a T then.
