Answer:

D. is

Read Explanation:

The correct sentence is:

"A pair of socks is** lying there."**

### Explanation:

- Even though "socks" is plural, "pair" is the main subject of the sentence, and "pair" is considered singular.

- Therefore, the verb "is" is used because the subject ("pair") is singular.

So, the correct sentence uses "is" instead of "are":

"A pair of socks is lying there."
