Explanation:

Consider passive voice when: The performer is unknown, irrelevant, or obvious. The performer is less important than the action.

ex.) Active: I'm doing my homework.

Passive: My homework has been done. (These could go for B and D)

ex.) Active: Johnny is receiving his test grade.

Passive: Johnny's test grade had been received. (This goes for A)

ex.) Active: Bella is leaping through the air.

Passive: Bella had just leaped from the air. (This goes for C)
