Correct Answer: lying


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

"Lying" is the present participle form of the verb "lie." In this context, "lying" refers to the action of reclining or resting in a horizontal position, which fits well with the idea of enjoying the sun.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Laying: Placing or putting something down.

  • Lay: To put or set something down.

  • Lie: To recline or rest in a horizontal position.

Therefore, the complete sentence should be: "I like lying in the sun."
