Correct Answer: off
Solution : The first option 'passed away' means to 'die' which is inappropriate with 'marriage'.The second option 'passed by' means 'to go past a thing or near it on your way to another place', which can't be used in the context of marriage. The fourth option 'passed out' means 'to lose consciousness' which is again inappropriate in the context of marriage.
The third option is correct as 'passed off' means 'completion of an event' and contextually completes the sentence.
Therefore, the correct statement should be "My sister's marriage passed off peacefully."
