The correct answer was False.

Because the 2nd half kickoff is not the 'ensuing' kickoff. The 2nd half kickoff ensues from the fact it is the 2nd half, not the score.

It is false because this was a live ball foul on the last timed play of the first half and if accepted on the kickoff. the periiod will be extend with an untimed down.
