Answer:

A. Our map was folded by the teacher

Step-by-step explanation:

The passive voice is usually used when we intend to emphasize the action and not the person who performs the action, either because it is not important or it is obvious. In that respect, the sentence chosen makes use of the Past Simple passive tense, probably since the speaker highlights the folding of the map rather than the agent who accomplished the action.
