Answer:

B. Jacob's carefully-laid plans for the backyard garden were abandoned.

Step-by-step explanation:

The words "carefully" and "laid" should not be joined by hyphen. Placing a hyphen between them represents an error in grammar and spelling.

The use of hyphen in letter A, C and D is correct. Although bird's-eye seems like a wrong way to use hyphen, it is correct and represents the visualization of a certain object or plane from a point above it, common in maps and computer games
