Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The original sentence 'Why has Purusottam driven Parshuram out of Mainak's house?' is in the active voice and the present perfect tense. The subject is 'Purusottam', the verb is 'has driven', and the object is 'Parshuram'.
To convert an active voice sentence into passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence. The structure for a 'wh' question in the present perfect passive is:
Wh-word + has/have + subject (object of active voice) + been + past participle of the verb + by + object (subject of active voice) + remaining part of the sentence (with interrogation mark).
