Explanation:
As the subject is doing the action, the sentence is written in an active voice. The sentence is in the Simple Past tense which follows-
Active – S + V2 + O
Passive – O + was/were + V3 + by + S.
Option D is correct because it uses the passive form of the sentence.
It's not necessary to use an explicit "by the..." phrase.
In this active voice sentence, the'scientists' are the subject performing the action of the verb.
We can choose option D since it isn't mentioned in any of the other options.
