B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence describes the sequence of events after dining: 'then (vi) ____________ happy and sleepy, lie down'. The subject 'we' is understood here (elliptical construction). After eating, people 'feel' happy and sleepy, then lie down. 'Feel' in the base form is correct for this imperative/elliptical structure. 'Feet' is a noun (body part), 'feels' would require a singular subject, and 'are feeling' is unnecessarily wordy and changes the aspect.
