To be able to help, we need to know the original source of this question. Can you please provide? Thanks! :-)

e ... latter part of the sentence is in simple past, so the former should have past 'perfect'. Hence, u r left with A and E. go for E, if you know the difference between lie and lay... pretty easy qn...:P
