Answer:

The blue sports car was being chased by a police officer on a motorcycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sentence in the active voice has a subject that directly performs the action on an object in the sentence. A sentence in the passive voice is one in which the subject receives the action or is acted upon by an object in the sentence. Their meanings are usually difficult to decode because they are unclear and wordy.

In the chosen option above, the subject, which is the blue sports car receives the action performed by the police officer on a motorcycle. The sentence can be changed to the active voice thus;

The police officer on a motorcycle chased the blue sports car.
