Correct answer: A — Proceed to delivery (≥34 weeks) after maternal stabilisation

ACOG recommends delivery at ≥34 weeks for preeclampsia with severe features after stabilisation. Expectant management to 37 weeks applies to no-severe-features cases. Magnesium sulfate is recommended for seizure prophylaxis in severe features. ACE inhibitors are contraindicated in pregnancy. Prolonged delay risks maternal/fetal harm.
