Correct Answer: The bushes have been watered by the gardener.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.

The structure of the passive voice in the case of the present perfect tense is: "Plural object + have + been + past participle of the main verb + by followed by the agent of the action."

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The bushes have been watered by the gardener."
