The correct passive form is 'I remember being taken to the museum by my sister.' This uses the gerund 'being taken' after 'remember' to show the passive action. Option A changes meaning (suggests a different memory), C adds unnecessary 'myself', and D is grammatically incorrect (missing 'being').

The active sentence "Who is creating this mess?" is in the present continuous tense. Its passive form is "By whom is this mess being created?". The other options use incorrect tenses or word order.

The active sentence 'Darjeeling grows tea' becomes 'Tea is grown in Darjeeling' in passive voice. Option A uses 'is being grown' (continuous passive) which is not appropriate.
