The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. I was given an interesting book by my mother.

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.
- The pronoun 'me' will be changed to 'I'.
- Use the word “by” before the object in the passive sentence.
Now, the given sentence is in simple past tense. When the active form is in "past participle" form then the passive voice should follow the format "was/were + V3" form.
The passive form will be: I was given an interesting book by my mother.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3 i.e. I was given an interesting book by my mother.
