First, identify the adverb phrase: that would be "in water" because it answers the question where, an adverb question. Then we realize that out of the choices B and D (the two with "in water"), only choice B claims that the adverb phrase is modifying "lay", which is the verb in the sentence (adverbs can only modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs). So the correct answer is B!
