Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
The phrasal verb "lie down" means to be in a position in which your body is flat and its present participle form "lying down" is the correct usage according to the context of the sentence, as it helps in conveying the intended meaning that the speaker was laying in a flat position when the doorbell rang.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, ''I was lying down when the doorbell rang ."
