The available answers for this one bother me.
Fourth and 13 at the A-37. The punt bounces at the B-5 high into the air. After the ball breaks the goal line plane, A37 bats that ball back into the field of play and out-of-bounds at the B-2. During the kick, A40 commits a holding foul at the B-8 while trying to prevent B80 from getting to the kick.
a. Team B, first and 10 from the B-30.
b. Team B, first and 10 from the B-12.
c. Team B, first and 10 from the B-20.
d. Team A, fourth and 23 at the A-27.
e. a and d are the only options.
f. b, c and d are all valid options.
"a" is the most likely option (ITK in the end zone gives the ball to B at the B-20, and the holding penalty can be enforced there, taking the ball to the B-30).
"a" is not an option, by rule.
"b" is unreasonable, but possible, if B did not exercise the ITK in the end zone privilege, and enforced the holding penalty from the B-2.
"c" is unreasonable, but possible, if B took the ITK in the end zone privilege, taking the ball at the B-20, and declining the holding penalty.
"d" is unlikely, but potentially reasonable, depending on time & score; B does not exercise the ITK in the end zone privilege, and enforces the holding penalty at the previous spot (which requires the down to be repeated).
"e" is not correct, because "a" and "d" are is not the ONLY an option. options; they may be the only reasonable, options, but they are not the only options.
"f" is correct, in that those options are, in fact, "valid" options, if "valid" means they are technically available. If, in this case, "valid" means "reasonable," then this answer is incorrect.
I'm going with "f", but I don't like the question.
