Neither team has an option in this play. The fouls are offset by rule since the team last in possession fouled before gaining possession.

Actually, in this scenario B fouls after gaining final possesion so they would have the choice of declining A's penatly and retaining the ball.

On the OP, (after further review ) I agree that in that case, since A was last in possesion and fouled prior to gaining final possession then there are no choices, the penalties offset.
