Same choice.

I assume by these you are assuming that the runner is in the same place he was when the ball came loose. If so, your answer is correct...if not then it's not, since the new dead ball spot is where the ball became loose (assuming A takes the result of the play instead of replaying).

Also, if I'm interpreting the rule correctly, K would want to replay the down in #2 since it'd give the ball to R (assuming that it's 4th down when they're punting).
