Correct Answer: A severe locust outbreak in Rajasthan and Gujarat is being witnessed by the country.
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The structure of the passive sentence in the present continuous tense is, additional information + object in active voice + is + being + past participle form of the main verb + by + subject in active voice.
Therefore, the sentence in the passive voice: A severe locust outbreak in Rajasthan and Gujarat is being witnessed by the country.
