Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
“In bed” means that you are not just on your bed but also very much ready to sleep. It implies that you are under under the sheets.
"On the bed" means "on the surface" of the bed. The person or object is not under any covering. With "on," there is always an article, or a possessive, or other determiner. "On" never appears alone with "bed."
