elbow to ball

What about "dead ball strike", but I guess no swing?

R1 is on second base. The batter has a count of two balls and one strike. The pitcher pitches a ball not in the batter's box and the batter intentionally strikes the ball with their elbow. What is the call?

A. Dead ball, award batter first base.

B. Dead ball, award batter first base and R1 third base.

C. Dead ball, batter remains in the batter's box and the count is three balls and one strike.

D. None of the above.
