Answer : A. The tree was planted by Mary.

The big box was being carried by the huge man in the market.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Passive voice: Object + helping verb + verb + preposition + subject

here we see tree as the object (receives the action), was planted is the helping verb, planted is the verb, by is the preposition, and Mary is the subject (does the action)
