Correct Answer: Autobiographies are written by people for various reasons.
Solution : The correct solution is the first option.
Explanation : 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 sentence in the case of the simple present tense is, " Plural object + auxiliary verb (are) + past participle form of the main verb (written) + by-agent of the action (by people) + prepositional phrase (for various reasons)".
So, the correct sentence would be: Autobiographies are written by people for various reasons.
