Show answer & explanation

Concept/Grammar rules

Application

Basic rules to be followed for Active/Passive conversions are:

1. The object of the active verb becomes the subject of the passive verb.

2. The finite form of the verb is changed (to be+ past participle).

3. The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped).

Here the given sentence is in Present Perfect Tense.

Active:- Subject + Has/have + past participle + object.

Passive:- Subject + Has/have + been + past participle + object.

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: 'Have your outstanding bills been paid?'  

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
