Am I wrong in this? Law 22.12 states that a player may strike or come into contact with the flag as long as they are not in touch and score a try?

Blue #8 is running towards Gold's goal-line and strikes a corner flag post as the goal-line is crossed. Blue #8 grounds the ball just over the goal-line and near the touch-in-goal line, but never stepped onto a touch-line or touch-in-goal line. What do you do?
Incorrect - You answered A.
The correct answer is: D.
22.11b : When a player carrying the ball touches the corner post, the touch-in-goal line, or the dead ball line, or touches anyone or anything beyond those lines, the ball becomes dead. If the ball was played into in-goal by the attacking team, a drop-out shall be awarded to the defending team. If the ball was played into in-goal by the defending team, a 5-meter scrum shall be awarded and the attacking team throws in the ball.
