Vikings - Eagles punt penalties

Situation: Minnesota is punting to Philly. Philly receives and makes a short return, but there are two penalties on the play. Ref announces a holding penalty against Minnesota and a holding penalty against Philadelphia. Ref then says they will ask Philadelphia which option they would like. Philly chooses to offset the penalties and punt again.

Question: What options do they have to choose from? Don't they just automatically offset?

Foul on Vikings (Team A) was during the punt.
Foul on Eagles (Team B) was during the return (I think, I didn't have the sound on when it happened).

Since Team B gained possession of the ball prior to the foul (with 'clean hands'), they can:

a) decline the foul on Team A and retain possession of the ball after the enforcement of the foul on Team B. (assuming Team A doesn't decline the penalty, which they won't).
b) Accept the foul on Team A, followed by Team A accepting B's foul, creating an offsetting-fouls situation, which would lead to replaying the down.

The foul on A was a foul during the kick. The foul on B was a PSK foul.

B gets all the options here. They can decline the A foul and take the ball 10 yards from the end of the kick or play it as offsetting fouls.
