That depends entirely on that particular warranty.

Some warranties are not transferable.
You need to read the warranty documentation to decide what's what in your particular circumstance.

Usually not, but some items are, read the terms of the extended warranty. Your don't usually have any protection at all when you buy second hand goods from a private seller.

If person B knows person A, they could ask if person A will claim on the warranty.

If person B has the original proof of purchase, and the warranty didn't depend on registration in person A's name, it may still be possible for person B to claim as the company won't know who actually purchased the product originally
