D Correct answer
Explanation

With verbs of perception like 'see', 'hear', 'watch', the object in active voice becomes the subject in passive, and the following verb takes being + V3 form. 'I saw him conducting' (active) becomes 'He was seen conducting...' OR the clause can be made passive: 'I saw the rehearsal being conducted by him.' Option D correctly applies passive transformation to the clause 'him conducting the rehearsal'.
