Answer:

The options for this question are:

A. "I will be sure to avoid getting pregnant for at least 1 year."

B. "My intake of iron will have to be closely monitored for 6 months."

C. "My blood pressure will continue to be increased for about 6 more months."

D. "I won't use my birth control pills for at least a year or two."

The correct answer is A. "I will be sure to avoid getting pregnant for at least 1 year."

Explanation:

She needs to have follow-ups for 1 year to see that there isn't any trophoblastic tissue that can grow and harm her. To check this, her hCG levels will be measured for a year, pregnancy modifies the levels of this hormone, so it is important to avoid getting pregnant for a year.
