• A. Grass is not eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.
• B. Grass is not being eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.
• C. Grass is eaten not by a lion, however hungry he may be.
• D. Grass is not being eat by a lion, however hungry he may be.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Grass is not eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.

The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in the active voice.

The correct answer is A) Grass is not eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.

Option A is correct as the subject of the given sentence (A lion) comes in the place of the object (grass) and vice versa, the same tense is used (simple present tense), appropriate helping verb (is) is used, and the past participle of the main verb ( eat) is used.
