B. MS-AFP
After 13 wks amniotic fluid AFP level decreses, MSAFP increases.
90% sensitive but only 7% specific.

The pt has come at 14 weeks. tripple screening is done between 15 to 18 week. Before that ultrasound should be the tool of choice. Patients age is not told. So can't comment on amiocentesis.
