Option A included biopsy clip percutaneous and stereotactic guidance in a single code . Then why should we choose option D? Please correct me if I am wrong

Selected Answer: A
A is correct because stereotactic guidance was used. If it's ultrasound guidance then we need to code 19083. And we can't code them together because they are different guidance

The answer should be D. You have the 19081 for the breast biopsy. And you need code 19283 for the stereotactic guidance.
