C 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 verb with the helping verb. It is a case of simple past tense. In this tense, we use the third form of verb with 'was/were' (in passive voice).  So, option 3 is the correct answer.
