Verified Answer :

Among the options provided, the sentence which uses the word lay correctly is:

C.) Caesar could hear the teacher asking students to lay the homework assignment on his desk.

When a thing is placed somewhere as in this case the homework is required to be put on the desk, the use of lay is more correct. Whereas, when a person or any subject who wants to recline, the correct word to use is lie.
