Correct Answer: The criminal has been apprehended by the police.


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth 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 present perfect tense is: object + has been + past participle of the main verb + by + followed by the agent of the action.

Therefore, the correct passive form is: The criminal has been apprehended by the police.
