- A. Laid
- B. Lain
- C. Lay
- D. Lie
Explanation: The correct answer is 'lay'. The sentence describes a habitual action, indicated by the word 'usually', which requires the present tense form of the verb. 'Lay' is the correct verb form for describing the action of birds placing eggs in their nests. 'Laid' is past tense, 'lain' is a past participle of 'lie' meaning to recline, and 'lie' can mean either recline or not tell the truth, neither of which fit the context of the sentence.
