Solution

The correct option is C Were given

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 active voice.

The correct answer is C) Were given.

Option C) is correct as the main verb is used in its third form with the correct helping verb.

Options A, B, and D are not correct as the sentence is in the past tense, the second form of the main verb cannot be used in a passive voice sentence, and 'Madame and Monsieur Curie' represents a plural noun respectively.

Madame and Monsieur Curie were given the Nobel Prize for Physics in 19031903.
