The correct answer is option 2. i.e. He was laughed at by all his friends.

 

To convert the given sentence into the passive voice, follow these rules:

  • Move the object of the active sentence (him) to the subject position of the passive sentence.
  • Add a form of the verb "to be" (in this case, "was") and a past participle of the main verb (in this case, "laughed").
  • Add the preposition "at" followed by the subject of the active sentence (in this case, "him").

The resulting passive sentence is:
