The answer is the third one: the Apgar Scale.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Fetal MRI: This is a prenatal diagnostic test that provides detailed images of the fetus, helping to diagnose or rule out certain conditions.
  2. Amniocentesis: This is a prenatal diagnostic procedure where a small amount of amniotic fluid is sampled to test for genetic conditions and other fetal abnormalities.
  3. The Apgar Scale: This is NOT a prenatal diagnostic test. It is a quick test performed on a newborn at 1 and 5 minutes after birth to assess the baby's physical condition and determine any immediate need for extra medical or emergency care.
  4. Ultrasound Sonography: This is a common prenatal diagnostic test that uses sound waves to create images of the fetus, helping to monitor its development and detect any abnormalities.

Summary: The Apgar Scale is not a prenatal diagnostic test; it is used postnatally to assess the health of a newborn.
