Correct option is A)

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.
