A sentence is in passive voice when the subject is acted upon by the verb.

The sentence in passive voice is B - convenience and efficiency have been delivered by the telephone.

In active voice this sentence would be: The telephone has delivered convenience and efficiency, wherein the subject (the telephone) is doing the action (delivering convenience and efficiency).
