Correct Answer: The roads are fixed by indentured labourers.


Solution : The correct choice is the third 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 passive structure in the case of the simple present tense is: Plural subject + are + past participle form of the main verb + by followed by the agent of the action.

So, the passive voice sentence is: "The roads are fixed by the indentured labourers."
