D Correct answer
Explanation

In this inverted sentence starting with a preposition, 'Italy' is the subject (singular), so it needs the singular verb 'lies'. 'Lie' would be for plural subjects. 'Liers' is not a valid word - it's either 'liars' (people) or 'layers' (one who lays). This is about geographical location.
