    A The novel had been written by the famous author in just three months. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The famous author was writing the novel in just three months. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The famous author wrote the novel in just three months. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The novel has been written by the famous author in just three months. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The original sentence is in the passive voice ("was written by...").

    To convert it to active voice, identify the doer (subject) — the famous author — and the object — the novel.

    The correct structure in active voice is:

    Subject (The famous author) + verb (wrote) + object (the novel)

    So, the correct sentence is: "The famous author wrote the novel in just three months."
