ANSWER
In this sentence we would understand the usage of verb tense.
Option A: 'Laid' is a simple past tense. The past tense, also called the past simple or simple past is used to talk about things or situations which happened in the past, that is, before the present time of speaking. In this sentence, the mother wolf has done something in the past which has been spoken of in this case. Option A is correct.
Option B: 'Will lay' is simple future tense. The future tense is used to refer to things that haven’t yet happened at the present time of speaking, but which are due, expected, or likely to occur in the future. This is a wrong choice.
Option C: 'Lays' is simple present tense. It is used to refer to things that are happening in the present. Option C is incorrect.
Option D: Had laid is past perfect tense. Past Perfect tenses are typically used to talk about actions that are completed by a particular point in the past. These tenses are sometimes referred to as aspects rather than tenses. The term aspect is used in grammar to talk about the form of a verb that shows, for example, whether the action happens once or repeatedly, is completed or still continuing. This is the wrong option.
