Correct answer: C — Umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry

Umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry is indicated to check for placental insufficiency in suspected SGA fetuses. CTG and non-stress tests evaluate fetal heart rate patterns, but Doppler assesses placental blood flow. Amniocentesis is for genetic or infectious concerns.
