Kaposi's sarcoma is a type of cancer that primarily affects the skin and lymph nodes. It causes the abnormal growth of blood vessels, leading to the formation of lesions or tumors. It is often associated with a virus called human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) or Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). The cancer appears as purplish or reddish patches on the skin and can also affect other organs. It commonly occurs in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS. Hence,the correct answer is option 4.
