Explanation

Explanation for option 1: “have” will be replaced by “has” as “the initiative” denotes singular noun. Explanation for option 2: This is correct as per the rules of Active/Passive voice. Explanation for option 3: As “active voice” contains “present perfect” tense, so it will be changed into “has been + past participle” in the passive voice. Hence, this is not correct.
