Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. The visitor had parked the car in front of the gate.
The given sentence is in past perfect passive voice (“had been parked”). In active voice, the subject (“the visitor”) becomes the doer of the action, and the verb changes to past perfect active form (“had parked”) while keeping the object (“the car”) unchanged.

B – correct past perfect active form matching “had been parked”
C – past continuous passive, incorrect tense
D – future tense, changes meaning completely
