the voice of the verb is active because the verb is presented in the present you ARE loved passive would be you WERE loved

The correct answer is that in this sentence the voice of the verb is passive. Instead performing the action as in active voice, the subject of the sentence in passive voice receives or experiences the action. In this case, the subject you is not giving love, the subject you is receiving love. For this reason, the voice is passive.
