Correct Answer: Lemon is sour when it is tasted.
Solution : The third option is correct.
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 voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the passive voice in the case of the simple present tense is: "Singular object + is + past participle form of the verb + subject."
Therefore, the passive voice structure is: Lemon is sour when it is tasted.
