While your breakdown of the options is accurate, the WH based on all the input from the affected officials should say he will present this single option to team-A.

That being "You will want to accept the DPI; 15 yards and a 1st down. In addition, we will mark off 15 more yards for the team-B late hit foul".
Some might say it's two options, but keep it as simple as possible for the fouled team.
Wouldn't even consider telling team-A about the options where they loose the ball.

Team A late hit.

I wouldn't even talk to A about the late hit. Just tell them if they accept the pass interference call they will get the ball back with a first down.

I do try to sort calls like tis out ith the calling official AND the umpire. Read it back to the calling official and tell the option to the umpire for his agreement.
