Active form: The spider on the wall frightened Jiya.

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.
• In the given sentence the subject is the spider, while the object is Jiya. At last, line up the remaining part.
• 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 simple past tense. When the active form is in "V2" form then the passive voice should follow the format "was/were + V₃" form.

The passive form will be: Jiya was frightened by the spider on the wall.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Jiya was frightened by the spider on the wall.
