they don't have better choices
Imaging Studies
Transvaginal sonography (TVS) is useful for screening high-risk women but has inadequate sensitivity for screening low-risk women
Ultrasound is helpful in differentiating ovarian masses that are benign and likely to resolve spontaneously from those with malignant potential
Color Doppler imaging may further enhance the specificity of ultrasound diagnosis

E... enlarged ovaries after menopause is never normal and is malignancy unless and until proved otherwise.
The best option to go for is Laporotomy, do unilateral salpingooophorectomy, send for frozen sections and decide accordingly, since that is not available E is the most likely answer.
