Answer:
C. Larry saw a fox in our backyard

Step-by-step explanation:
In the active voice, the subject (Larry) of the sentence performs the action (seeing a fox).
Subject + action + object

But with the passive voice, the subject receives the action from the object. E.g. the computer was fixed by my friend.
Action + verb + subject

Hope this helps you! :D
