alleryWhich sentence is in PASSIVE voice?

BThe boy is throwing me into the deep end.
CThe boy will throw me into the deep end.
DThe boy threw me into the deep end.
Answer & Solution

Passive voice has the object of the active verb as the subject + 'be' + past participle.
'I was thrown by the boy' inverts agent and patient. The others are active.
