Both statements are correct. Erasing the code with a scan tool indeed erases the corresponding freeze frame data (Technician A's statement). Freeze frame data captures the engine's condition (sensor and output status) at the exact moment a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is set, as stated by Technician B.
