The correct ICD-10-CM codes to be reported are Z38.01, P55.1 (option b).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct ICD-10-CM codes to be reported for the newborn's record are Z38.01, P55.1 (option b).

ICD-10-CM code Z38.01 is reported for single liveborn infant and is used to indicate the outcome of the delivery. ICD-10-CM code P55.1 is reported for neonatal jaundice due to isoimmunization and is used to indicate the ABO incompatibility.
