Kaposi's Sarcoma

Ok I am just baffled by this coding question....I don't think the correct answer is given.

Please code: Kaposi's Sarcoma due to HIV disease.

1) 176.9, V08

2) 042

3) 176.9

4) 176.9, 042


Per the guidelines if you have a person that comes in with an HIV related condition you will code the 042 first, then the condition after that. Well to me that means the answer should be:


042, 176.9 but this is not one of the answer options. Please help.
