    C.

    She stung herself by a honeybee in the apiary.

    D.

    Correct option is A

    The correct passive voice of the given sentence is "She was stung by a honeybee in the apiary."
    Explanation:
    · The given sentence is in active voice: A honeybee (subject) stung (verb) her (object) in the apiary (adverbial phrase).
    · The object "her" becomes the subject in the passive voice: She (new subject) was stung (passive verb) by a honeybee (agent) in the apiary.
    · Structure:

    · Passive voice: Object (as new subject) + auxiliary verb (was) + past participle of main verb (stung) + by + subject (as agent) + adverbial phrase.

    · (c) She stung herself by a honeybee in the apiary. (Grammatically incorrect.)
    · (d) A honeybee got her stung in the apiary. (Changes the meaning.)
