The FED made a rule change this past offseason that allows R to "tack on" fouls committed by K during a kick down.

Also, (B) is inaccurate because the fact that the enforcement for the foul results in a safety means there will be no untimed down. (C) is an accurate option but given R is down by 3 obviously they don't want that.
