B. A militant was seen climbing over the fence by the Indian army jawan
C. A militant was seen climbing over the fence by the jawan of Indian army
D. The militants were seen climbing over the fence by the Indian army jawan
Right Answer is: C
SOLUTION
Basic rules to be followed for Active/Passive conversions are:
1. The object of the active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb.
2. The finite form of the verb is changed (to be+ past participle).
3. The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped).
4. Preposition ‘by’ is used before object.
The given sentence is in active voice. Its tense is past continuous. The structures for active/passive voices are:
Active: Subject + was/were + verb (ing) + object…
Passive: Object + was/were + being + verb (IIIrd from) + by + subject…
Hence option C is the correct answer.
