Answer
- B The fellow player gets the general penalty
- C The ball is dropped within one club-length of the estimated resting spot
Explanation
Anyone who deliberately deflects or stops a ball in motion gets the general penalty (Rule 11.2b). The ball must not be played as it lies; the reference point is the estimated spot where it would have come to rest (Rule 11.2c).
