This is a poorly worded question as there are two potentially correct answers.

I think I had that question but I could swear the choice including lodging between the rim and the backboard included "throwin" somewhere in the answer.

That would make "B" the only always correct answer; and another one would be sometimes correct.

Same here. Maybe it's a VA thing!

Couldn't (D) also be correct, if the out of bounds occurred during a jump ball before possession was established?

This is a piss-poor written question. I'd hope it'd get tossed out after review. All of those situations could come up and not require use of the AP is certain situations.

Here is the way the question appears on the exam. It includes an (E) as well.

An alternating-possession throw-in results in all of the following situations, EXCEPT:
a. All double fouls.
b. A live ball lodges between the backboard and the ring.
c. Simultaneous free-throw violations
d. A held ball.
e. A live ball comes to rest on the flange.

That's how it looks on my exam. Still horrible wording, but the answer is obvious.

Then the answer would be "A".

Okay, let's agree. The question sucks.
