Answer:

The answer is "Option C"

Explanation:

The content management system promotes the accurate coding technique, which is used to monitor incorrect encoding, in which the comprehensive code is used, that compiles the code to defining or covering two or more CPT part code, packaged as one package, that's why "option c" is correct and other were wrong which can be defined as follows:

  • In option A, It is wrong because code can't be a component code.
