Code 51992 is specifically for laparoscopic sling procedures, while code 51840 is for open retropubic urethropexy. Code 51845 is for laparoscopic retropubic urethropexy, which is not the procedure performed in this case. Code 51990 is the closest option, as it is for laparoscopic bladder neck suspension. However, it is not as specific to the urethra as 51992, which is specifically for laparoscopic suspension of the urethra. Therefore, the best choice is B, code 51990.
