Based on the given information, the boy who would be most likely to hear a rock falling off a cliff one kilometer away would be the boy lying down with his ear to the ground. This is because sound travels faster through solids than liquids or gases, and the ground (solid) would transmit the sound of the falling rock more effectively than the other materials mentioned.
