A Correct answer
Explanation

In passive voice constructions, we use 'by' to indicate who performed the action. The meeting was called (passive) BY the headmaster (the agent who performed the calling). 'From' indicates source, 'on' surface, and 'in' location - 'by' is the correct passive voice marker.
