Correct Answer: laid
Solution : The first option is the correct answer for the sentence because ''laid'' is the past form of the verb 'lay' and is grammatically correct as per past tense.
''Lain'' in the second option is incorrect as it is the past participle form of the verb ' 'lie'' which means to put oneself in a flat position. ' 'Lie'' i n the fourth option also does not fit in grammatically as the person is not lying but laying a camera i.e., putting it in a flat position. ''Lay'' i n the third option is also incorrect as the first form of the verb is used with a plural noun or pronoun.
Therefore, the complete statement should be "He laid his camera on the table."
