D. The team has suggested a solution to resolve the issue.

1. Identifying the Tense & Structure:

• Given Passive Sentence: "A solution has been suggested by the team to resolve the issue."

• Tense: Present Perfect Tense (has been + past participle [suggested]).

2. Conversion Steps (Passive to Active):

1. Identify the Subject and Object:

   • Passive Subject: A solution (becomes the direct object in active voice).

   • Passive Agent: by the team (the noun performing the action becomes the active subject: The team).

2. Change the Verb Form (Present Perfect):

   • Passive Verb Form: $\text{has/have} + \text{been} + \text{past participle}$ (has been suggested)

   • Active Verb Form: $\text{has/have} + \text{past participle}$ (has suggested)

3. Reconstruct the Active Sentence:

   • [Subject] (The team) + [Active Verb] (has suggested) + [Direct Object] (a solution) + [Remaining Phrase] (to resolve the issue).
