Neither c nor d is correct.
Lie means to recline.
Lay means to put.
I've checked two of your guesses. Now you're own your own. Please do not post this question again.

ItsBeebo: I think Ms Sue is telling you to stop guessing, put some thought into your work. Generally, the rewards are greater doing that.

1. Many people pretend to be Ms. Sue and give out the wrong answers on purpose to make people fail their tests. I've seen it happen before.
