10. After a brief search you find a ball that might be yours. The ball is resting against a pinecone that will make it difficult to play the shot and, if moved, could cause the ball to move. The pinecone obscures the spot on the ball where your identification mark would be. Rather than marking and lifting the ball to identify it, you move the pinecone out of the way. The ball moves and it turns out to be your ball. The ruling is?

You may identify your ball in this case only by marking its spot and lifting it to ensure that the pinecone remains a challenge in playing your next stroke, so you get one penalty stroke for causing your ball to move and the ball must be replaced, but you are not required to replace the pinecone.

You get no penalty so long as you replace the pinecone and the ball.

You get no penalty so long as you replace the ball but are not required to replace the pinecone.

You are disqualified under Rule 1.2 (serious misconduct) for circumventing the Rules.
