Answer: The answer is D on USA test prep

Explanation: The sentence written in active voice is the following one: The Labrador retriever bounded through the river to fetch his beloved tennis ball. A passive construction occurs when the object of an action is made into the subject of a sentence. An active construction has the subject do the action of the sentence. In this sentence, the Labrador retriever does the action, the bounding.
