The correct plural form of "el lápiz" in Spanish is "los lápices." To understand how to form the plural of a word that ends in "z," we need to consider the following rules:

1. If a word ends in a consonant + "z," we change the "z" to "c" and add "es" to form the plural.
2. If a word ends in a vowel + "z," we simply add "es" to form the plural.

In the case of "el lápiz," it ends in a consonant ("z"), so we follow rule #1. We change the "z" to "c" and add "es" to form "los lápices," the plural form of "el lápiz." Remember that "los" is the plural form of the masculine article "el."

So, the correct answer is:

Los lápices
