    D.

    Correct option is C

    The correct passive voice of the given sentence is (c) The lawn is mowed once every month.
    Definitions:
    · Active voice: The subject performs the action (e.g., We mow the lawn.)
    · Passive voice: The subject receives the action (e.g., The lawn is mowed.)
    Rules for Conversion from Active to Passive (Simple Present Tense):
    Structure:
    · Active Voice: Subject + V1 (present) + object
    · → We mow the lawn...
    · Passive Voice: Object + is/am/are + V3 (past participle) + by + subject (optional)
    Correct Passive:
    · The lawn = object (now the subject of the passive sentence)
    · is mowed = present tense passive form of "mow"
    Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
    · (a) The lawn was mowed once every month – Incorrect tense (past)
    · (b) The lawn has been mowed once every month – Incorrect tense (present perfect)
    · (d) The lawn will be mowed once every month – Future tense (not matching original tense)
    Final Passive Sentence:
    The lawn is mowed once every month.
    This is the correct and tense-consistent passive voice.
