A

Explanation:

Now I know this sounds weird, but here the first step would be to decide whether you will use the verb "lie" or "lay"

When you decide that the verb "lie" is more suitable, because it means to rest at a specific place, instead of "lay" which means to put down or set in place.

The weird part of the verb "lie" is that "lay" is the past tense of it, so do not confuse it with the other "lay".

"laid", "has laid", "lays" are all variations of the verb "lay", which is the wrong verb to use in this situation, so I would pick A because that is the past perfect tense of "lie"
