Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
According to ICD-10-CM codes, B is the correct code because K25.1 represents acute gastric ulcer with hemorrhage or perforation. K25.0 is for acute gastric ulcer with bleeding only, K25.2 is for acute gastric ulcer without hemorrhage or perforation, and K25.3 is for acute gastric ulcer, unspecified as bleeding or perforation.
