C.

Next Sunday, lamps will be lighted by the entire nation at 8.00 pm.

D.

Correct option is C

The correct passive voice of the given sentence is “Next Sunday, lamps will be lighted by the entire nation at 8.00 pm.”
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the subject “the entire nation” performs the action of lighting lamps (object).
To convert it into the passive voice, the object “lamps” becomes the subject, and the structure changes as per the rules of Simple Future Tense.
Grammatical rule used:
Active voice (Simple Future): Subject + will/shall + V1 + Object
Passive voice (Simple Future): Object + will/shall + be + V3 + by + Subject
Example:
Active: She will paint the wall.
Passive: The wall will be painted by her.
Explanation of other options:
· (a) Incorrect – “are to be lighted” changes the tense to modal expression of obligation, not future.
· (b) Incorrect – changes meaning; makes lamps the doer.
· (d) Incorrect – “will have been lighted” is Future Perfect tense, not Simple Future.
