I agree with the second and third answers but not the first. In this case you have a muff which is a free ball. A muff can be recovered by either team but not advanced by the kicking team. Since the ball was recovered in the end zone it is a touchdown.

A muff would ultimately determine who gets possession of the ball or what happens to the ball if force is involved but force is never a factor for kicks going into B's endzone as these are always touchbacks and it became a touchback as soon as it crossed the plane of the goalline. You might be thinking of NCAA rules and I have no clue how they would handle this situation but in NFHS, this is a TB.
