The given sentence “The scared squirrel was chased by the dog” changes from passive voice to active voice as “The dog chased the scared squirrel”.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Subjects in an active voice are the ones which performs the actions, due to which the subject is placed before the verb. In passive voice, it is the inverse i.e., the subject is kept after the verb.

In this sentence, the dog is the subject, followed by chased, which is the verb, and later you have the scared squirrel, which is the object. In the question, the scared squirrel is the recipient of the verb, due to which the subject is placed after the verb.
