Answer:

C) A standing ovation was received by the singer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sentence is written in active voice when the subject of the sentence performs the action in the sentence. And a sentence is written in passive voice when the subject of the sentence has an action done to it by someone or something else.

The singer received a standing ovation.
