A 30-year-old G2P1L1 at 37 weeks gestational age is here for a routine visit. Her first was a vaginal delivery of a 4.3 kgs baby boy after 30 min of pushing. This fetus is breech. Vaginal exam demonstrates that the cervix is 50% effaced and 1 to 2 cm dilated. The presenting breech is high out of the pelvis. The estimated fetal weight is about 3.2 kgs. A sonogram confirms a fetus with a frank breech, normal amniotic fluid present, and the head is well flexed. The following are possible management plans except:

AAllow the patient to undergo a vaginal breech delivery whenever she goes into labor
BCesarean section now
