    The correct passive voice of the given sentence is (b).
    Rules for converting active to passive voice:
    1. Structure of active voice:
    · They will have to pull down this building.
    · "Will have to" remains unchanged, and "pull down" is converted into "will have to be pulled down".
    2. Structure of passive voice:
    · "This building will have to be pulled down by them".
    3. "They have not complied with" → "The building regulations have not been complied with" (Retains meaning).
    Example:
    · Active: They will have to complete the project by next week.
    · Passive: The project will have to be completed by them by next week.
