B Correct answer
Explanation

While changing the voice, we interchange the respective places of the subject and the object. In passive voice, we always use the third form of the verb with the helping verb. Case of past simple tense. 'Promised' becomes 'was promised'. No need of 'to me' in otion 1. Option 4 does not put the subject-object at correct places.
