Solution

The correct option is A The dues had been cleared by them.

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 the active voice.

The correct answer is A)The dues had been cleared by them.

Option A is correct as the subject of the given sentence (They) comes in place of the object (the dues) and vice versa, the same tense is used (past perfect tense) using the appropriate helping verb (had) with 'been' and the past participle of the main verb (clear).
