Answer 1

The correct option is C passive verb construction

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 given sentence is in the passive voice so the correct answer is C) passive verb construction.
