Answer:
(a) Verb - Sleeps - Intransitive
(b) Verb - Broke - Transitive
(c) Verb - Lies - Transitive
Explanation:
(a) The verb sleeps does not need an object for the sentence, for example if the sentence can also be written as the baby sleeps on the bed, even if we don't write on the bed and simply write The baby sleeps it makes complete sense.
(b) The verb broke needs a noun/object to make sense. You cannot write She broke, because there is always a question she broke what?. So the verb is transitive.
(c) The explanation for this one is similar to the above one.
Pro tip - You can ask the question what and by this method you ca crack half the questions
