Correct Answer: A new house is being built by her.


Solution : The correct choice is the first 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 sentence in the present continuous tense is: Object + is + being + past participle form of the verb + by + agent of action .

Therefore, the correct sentence is: A new house is being built by her.
