Correct Answer: Onions are being sold by the vendor on a cart.
Solution : The third option is the correct answer.
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 is: "Subject + are being + main verb + by + prepositional phrase"
Therefore, the correct answer is: "Onions are being sold by the vendor on a cart."
