The correct active form of the sentence is:
"The witness made a decision to stay silent in this case."

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer: The witness chose to stay silent in this case.

The phrase made a decision expresses past action and is concisely replaced by the past tense verb chose (or decided).
The verb choose is followed by a to-infinitive (to + V1), making to stay silent grammatically correct.
