D Correct answer
Explanation

While changing the voice of a sentence (from active to passive), we are required to interchange the respective positions of the subject and the object, but the tense remains unchanged and ‘third form of the verb’ is used. However, we add auxiliary to indicate the tense used in the original sentence. This  is the case of past indefinite tense. Here, both option 1 and 2 are framed correctly. So, option 4 is the answer.
