Solution

The correct option is C Kaposi sarcoma
  • Kaposi sarcoma is a disease which is often observed in the patients suffering from HIV-AIDS and herpes virus. There are tumours produced in this disease which often leads to the cancerous stage.
  • The first stage is the formation of lesions or spots on the chest and other parts of the body.
  • The lesions are purple or red in colour. These lesions develop and progress to form nodule or tumour.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
