Solution

The correct option is C A novel is read by him.

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 D) A novel is read by him.


Option D is correct as the given sentence is in the active voice and to transform it into the passive voice the subject of the given sentence (He) comes in the place of the object(a novel), uses the same tense (simple present tense) and the appropriate helping ver (is ) with the past participle of the main verb(read).
