OK, thanks guys. So, under 10-5-1f this would be a special enforcement rule and 8-2-2 would apply. That makes sense.

NFHS RULE 10.4
The basic spot is the spot where the related run ends for a foul which occurs during a running play as defined in 10-3-2.

RULE 10.3.2
A running play is any action not included under Article 1, other than those defined in 2-31-1a.

RULE 10.3.3
The end of the run is:

a. Where the ball becomes dead in the runner's possession.
b. Where the runner loses possession if his run is followed by a loose ball.
c. The spot of the catch when the momentum rule is in effect.

Accordingly A would have to decline the penalty in order to keep the touchdown.
