Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Passive voice tells us what is done to someone or something.

Sentences that are in passive voice tend to follow the following structure

object + verb + subject.

The umbrella was bought by Larry," follows this exact structure. Object ( the umbrella ) + verb ( was bought ) + subject ( by Larry. )

Therefore the answer is D.

Note: the other sentences begin with the subject and don't follow the structure and therefore are not in passive voice
