The correct answer is: active voice.

Explanation:

We use the passive voice to express our interest in some person or thing that experiences an action rather than the person or object that performs it. In other words, the object of the active sentence becomes a subject of an active sentence.

The Passive voice is composed of: the appropriate form of the verb to be and past participle.

e. g. The novel was written in 1889.

The passive sentence follows this type of scheme:

Subject + verb to be (conjugated) + past participle + rest of the sentence.

In our case, we have an active sentence, as the sentence misses the verb to be and the past participle to be considered as a passive sentence.

Active voice: Some people wonder about the future of the sari.

Passive voice: The future of the sari is wondered by some people.

Some people is the subject of active voice sentence, wonder is a predicate, while the future of the sari is the object of the sentence.

In the passive voice sentence, the future of the sari becomes a subject of the sentence, wonder is replaced with the passive construction is wondered, while some people is introduced with the preposition by.
