Explanation

The 'Choose what closing the lid does' option in Power Options directly controls the behavior of the laptop when the lid is closed, allowing the user to set it to 'Do nothing' when plugged in (which the docking station satisfies). This is the most direct and targeted setting for this specific behavior. 'Change Plan Settings' modifies general power plan parameters like screen timeout and sleep timers, but does not specifically address lid-close behavior. 'Choose When to Turn Off the Display' only controls the display timeout. Only the lid-close action setting resolves the described problem.
