• A. that he lay in bed
• B. that be lays in bed
• C. to lie in bed
• D. to be laid in bed
• E. No correction required

Answer 1

The correct option is C to lie in bed

'Lay' is wrong usage here in the sentence, we should use 'lie' instead to make the syntax correct.
E.g. She would lie comfortably in order to avoid her back pain.
