A. This would NOT be a backcourt violation if the ball had touched the floor before being recovered by A4
B. This is NOT a backcourt violation since B5 caused the ball to go into the backcourt
C. This is a backcourt (over-and-back) violation

B would be the correct answer, though they could have phrased the question a heck of a lot better.

Yeah, that's a huge annoyance. I think I missed a question on either the NCAA or NFHS exam this past season because of the difference.
