i
Use a clean quantum ancilla and apply the quantum circuit C, then the Pauli Z gate on the ancilla, then the inverse quantum circuit C†:
∣x,0⟩C​∣x,f(x)⟩I⊗Z​(−1)f(x)∣x,f(x)⟩C†​(−1)f(x)∣x,0⟩.

This compute-phase-uncompute construction implements A⊗I on every input with the ancilla initially ∣0⟩, and by linearity on any superposition of those inputs. The action on ancilla-∣1⟩ inputs need not coincide with A⊗I; the question only requires the clean-ancilla subspace.
