    C.

    Shyam is wise and honest is said by people.

    D.

    It is believed that Shyam is wise and honest.

    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:
    · People say he is a genius → It is said that he is a genius.
