My father ...... down for a nap.

A. lays

B. laid

C. lain

D. lie

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

In this sentence, the correct word choice depends on the tense and subject-verb agreement. The sentence is in the simple present tense, and it describes an action that the subject (My father) is currently performing. The appropriate verb form in this context is "lies."

"Lays" is the present tense of the verb "lay," but it is not the right choice here as "lay" typically refers to placing something down.
"Laid" is the past tense of "lay" and is incorrect for the present tense.

So, the correct option is: Option A: lays
