Since the free throw began legally and ended legally without being "successful",

In c) you say "dead by rule" then you use the word "successful".
You can't have it both ways. the FT can't be unsuccessful if you don't even shoot it. This is important because the case play says " FT attempt by A1 is unsuccessful.
