A - Either team may request a lineup check.
B - No requests (lineup check, timeout or substitution) and no libero replacements are permitted until the next time the ball is out of play.
C - Either team may request a substitution.
D - Either team may request a timeout.

The key here is that the request is after the beckon of serve. The errant ball does not constitute a replay, since the ball was never put into play. Had the ball been served, we'd have a replay and a lineup check would be permitted. But since the whistle had been blown and the ball had not been served, we are not in the window where a lineup check would be permitted.

I believe this was covered in last year's OTP. There is no error on the test, and the answer is B.
