Correct Answer: The boys were watching the football match.
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The active form of a sentence emphasises the subject performing the action. In an active sentence structure, the subject of the sentence acts upon the object.
The structure of the sentence in the active voice in case of the past continuous tense is: " Subject + were + present participle form of the main verb + object."
Therefore, the active form would be: "The boys were watching the football match."
