She is not sure about the date of her last menstrual period but says that the pregnancy probably occurred immediately after she stopped taking oral contraceptives 5 months ago. Maternal serum α-fetoprotein (MSAFP) level is increased to 3 multiples of the median. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?
A ) Repeat measurement of MSAFP level
B ) Triple screening for MSAFP, serum β-hCG, and serum estriol levels
C ) Ultrasonography
D ) Amniocentesis for measurement of α-fetoprotein level
E ) Amniocentesis for chromosomal analysis
