Solution

The correct option is B The room has been cleaned.

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)The room has been cleaned.

The option C is correct as the given sentence is in active voice and to transform it into passive voice the subject of the given sentence
(Somebody) comes in the place of the object(the room) and vice versa. Also, as the sentence is in the present perfect tense, 'been' is added after the helping verb 'has' and before the past participle form of the main verb(clean).

Options A, B, and D are wrong as is, was, and had been cannot be used.
