• A. is prepared by the chef.
• B. has prepared by the chef.
• C. had been prepared by the chef
• D. was being prepared by the chef.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. was being prepared by the chef.

The sentence "The chef was preparing a delicious meal" is in the past continuous tense.
The correct passive form of this tense is:

• "A delicious meal was being prepared by the chef."

The other options are incorrect because:

• (A) is present tense passive.

• (B) is grammatically incorrect.

• (C) is past perfect passive, which doesn’t match the original tense.
