- Cthat their success will lay in the happiness of
- Dthat their success lies in the happiness of

Correct Answer:
D
This sentence has an error in the subject-verb agreement. In this sentence the (success) subject is an abstract noun which needs a singular verb, and since the preceding verb is in the present tense the verb that follows must also be in the same tense as it is in the option D (that their success lies in the happiness). The other options use unsuitable verb forms (lay/ laid/will lay/ lying); hence option D is the correct answer.
