    C.

    We visited Deepawali on the occasion of Banaras.

    D.

    We are visiting Banaras on the occasion of Deepawali.

    Correct option is B


    Active voice: The subject of the sentence does the action (e.g., The chef cooked the meal).
    Passive voice: The subject of the sentence receives the action (e.g., The meal was cooked by the chef).

    Explanation:
    · The sentence is in passive voice, past simple tense:
    · Subject: Banaras
    · Verb: was visited
    · Agent: by us
    · To convert to active, make "us" → we (subject), use past simple form of verb: visited.
    Structure:
    · Passive: Object + was/were + V3 + by + subject
    · Active: Subject + V2 + object
    Correct:
    We visited Banaras on the occasion of Deepawali.
    Incorrect options:
    · (a) “had visited” – past perfect (wrong tense)
    · (c) Nonsensical; reverses meaning
    · (d) “are visiting” – present continuous (wrong tense)
