Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. He seeks perfection in everything he does.

Type of sentence: Assertive
Tense: Present simple
Given voice: Passive
Subject: Perfection
Object: Him

Structure for conversion:
Active: Subject + verb (present simple) + object
Passive: Object + is/are + past participle + by + subject

Converted sentence: He seeks perfection in everything he does.

The passive sentence "Perfection is sought by him..." is in the present simple tense. The correct active form must also be in the present simple tense, making “He seeks perfection” the accurate transformation.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
