Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. The northern part of India was ruled over by Razia Sultana.

Active form: Razia Sultana ruled over the northern part of India.

Rules for changing Active form to Passive from:

  • Simply exchange the places of the subject and the object. The subject should become the object and vice-versa while changing a sentence from Active to Passive voice or reverse.
  • Now, convert the main verb into its past participle or third form while converting from active to passive voice.
  • Use the word “by” before the subject in the passive sentence.

Now, the given sentence is in present perfect tense. When the active form is in 'past participle' form then the passive voice should follow the format 'was + V3' form.

The passive form will be: The northern part of India was ruled over by Razia Sultana.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. The northern part of India was ruled over by Razia Sultana.
