Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The workers have not cut a single tree in this area so far.
Explanation:
The given sentence is in the present perfect passive voice:
“has been cut”

Has/Have + been + V³ → Has/Have + V³
The object “Not a single tree” becomes the object in active voice, and “the workers” becomes the subject.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
“The workers did not cut...” is incorrect because it changes the tense to simple past.
“The workers had not cut...” is incorrect because it changes the tense to past perfect.
“The workers are not cutting...” is incorrect because it changes the tense to present continuous.
