Correct Answer: Their cousin showed them some rare photographs.


Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

The active voice is a type of sentence or clause in which the subject performs the action. It's a more direct and straightforward way of expressing ideas. In an active sentence, the subject is the doer of the action, and the object is the receiver of the action.

The structure of the active voice sentences is: "Subject + past participle of the main verb + object."

Therefore, the correct answer is: "Their cousin showed them some rare photographs."
