Correct Answer: 229 villages in Assam were affected by the floods.

Passive Voice Structure in the case of the simple past tense : Singular Subject + auxiliary verb + past participle of the main verb + by + agent of the action.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 229 villages in Assam were affected by the floods.
