I'm surprised ball in hand is the correct answer for 8-ball. I always thought it was behind that one mark, which apparently according to El D is called the "head string". I thought ball in hand was a 9-ball rule.

Yeah, I've never played ball-in-hand in 8-ball. Only behind the line (or head string or whatever) on scratches.

BTW, I've seen both scratch and play on in this situation. However, I tend to see play on because I'm usually playing with people who make an attempt at the ball instead of being a dick and taking other shots.
