Correct Answer: His son did the painting.


Solution : The second option is correct.

Active voice emphasises the doer of the action, while passive voice emphasises the receiver. To convert passive to active, we make the subject perform the action and rephrase the verb.

The structure of the active voice in the case of the simple past tense is: "Subject + past form of the verb + singular object."

Therefore, the sentence in the active voice is: "Her son did the painting."
