Correct answer: A — Start low-dose aspirin 81 mg daily between 12-28 weeks (optimally before 16 weeks)

ACOG recommends low-dose aspirin (81 mg) for those at high risk of preeclampsia, started between 12-28 weeks (ideally before 16 weeks) and continued until delivery. Starting after 28 weeks is suboptimal; heparin is not indicated; calcium restriction is not recommended.
