Correct answer: BDelay hormonal contraception for five days and use condoms

Delay hormonal contraception for five days and use condoms is the best answer because the vignette is testing Ulipristal advice and the recommended approach is consistent with FSRH Emergency Contraception. The other advice would give incomplete safety-netting, miss a contraindication, or use guidance intended for a different clinical setting. Specifically, Arrange routine sexual health follow-up; Seek same-day care if fever or systemic symptoms develop; Use condoms until follow-up is complete; Take folic acid and vitamin D as recommended would be suboptimal in this scenario. Good advice includes both the guideline recommendation and clear safety-netting.
