Explanation:

The question is about identifying the correct Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) codes for a surgical procedure involving a laparoscopy with a cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder) and exploration of the common bile duct due to cholelithiasis (gallstones). The correct codes would be CPT code 47563 and ICD-10-CM code K80.20. The CPT code 47563 corresponds to a laparoscopy, surgical, with cholecystectomy including exploration of the common bile duct, which accurately describes the procedure performed. The ICD-10-CM code K80.20 refers to calculus of gallbladder without cholecystitis without obstruction, which is the diagnosis of cholelithiasis mentioned in the scenario. Therefore, the correct answer is b) CPT code: 47563, ICD-10-CM code: K80.20.
