Answer:

C. The police arrested the criminal

Read Explanation:

Passive Voice: "The criminal was arrested by the police."

  • ഇവിടെ, ക്രിമിനലിലാണ് (നടപടി സ്വീകരിക്കുന്നയാൾ/receiver of the action) ശ്രദ്ധ കേന്ദ്രീകരിക്കുന്നത്, and the police are mentioned as the entity performing the action (നടപടി ചെയ്യുന്ന).

Active Voice: "The police arrested the criminal."

  • In the active voice, ആക്ഷൻ ചെയ്യുന്നയാളിലേക്ക് (പോലീസ്) ശ്രദ്ധ മാറുന്നു. Sentence becomes more direct, subject (പോലീസ്) പ്രവർത്തനം നടത്തുന്നതിൽ (കുറ്റവാളിയെ അറസ്റ്റ് ചെയ്യുന്നതിൽ) നേതൃത്വം വഹിക്കുന്നു (takes the lead in performing the action).
