That said, A is a better answers, and that's what we're supposed to select during a multiple choice test.

"if recognized during the first dead ball" is a limiting statement.

Disagree.

Can it be corrected if it's recognized during the first dead ball? Yes, so this answer is true.

Can it also be corrected if it's recognized after the first dead ball? Also yes -- so A is "truer."

I read (d) like Raymond did, as if there was a phantom "only" in front of the "if".

Yes it is how it is read and interpreted. We all know how to take care of it. Just not pleased with the choice of distractors. My first read of it was like Raymond said .. I thought that is using correctable error verbiage.

Relatively few people can write clear multiple choice questions. Far more people think they can. This question is not well written--quality test questions measure knowledge, not test taking skills. But as Bob said, despite that, there is a best answer.
