  1. 78700
  2. 78725
  3. 78740
  4. 78799
Explanation
Answer: C - 78740 is the correct code for ureteral reflux study (radiopharmaceutical voiding cystogram).

Code 78700 is incorrect because this code is for kidney imaging morphology. Code 78725 is incorrect because this code is for kidney function study, non-imaging radioisotopic study. Code 78799 is incorrect because this code is for an unlisted genitourinary procedure and there is a specific code listed for this procedure.
