Correct option is A


The correct passive voice of the sentence is (a) It is said that Shyam is wise and honest.
Active Voice: When the subject of the sentence performs the action, the sentence is in active voice.
Passive Voice: When the subject of the sentence receives the action, the sentence is in passive voice.
Explanation:
This is an impersonal passive construction, where the actual subject ("People") is vague or general.
Structure Used:
· Active: People say + clause
· Passive: It is said that + clause
Grammatical rule used:
· When the subject in active voice is “People/They/Everyone” (general), use “It is said that…”
· Example:
