Solution

The correct option is C is said to 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 active voice.


The correct answer is B)is said to be as the previous sentence indicates simple present tense. (passive)

Options A, C, and D are not correct as helping verb is not used, the main verb is not 'tell', and the given sentence is not in the simple past tense respectively.


Istanbul is said to be one of the world's most interesting cities.
