Solution

The correct option is D is not given
A sentence in passive voice focuses on the person or thing that receives an action rather than the person/thing that performs the action.
For example, 'My room was cleaned by me.'
The basic structure of passive voice is:
the appropriate form of the verb 'to be' + past participle
Option D: The given sentence states a fact (in the negative), hence it's in simple present tense. So, the simple present form of 'to be', 'are' is used. (The simple present tense states a general fact or a usual habit.)
'Is not given' is the appropriate structure, formed by the simple present tense verb 'is' + the negative adverb (not) + past participle (given). Hence option D is correct.
Option B: 'Give' is the base form of the verb whereas the past tense form (given) is used in the passive voice. Hence B is incorrect
Options A and C: 'Does' and 'do' are verbs in the active form (does is a form of 'do' in the present tense). The word 'do' itself means 'to perform an action'. These words are not used in the passive voice.
Hence options A and C are incorrect.
