Correct Answer: The cockroach was killed by her.
Solution : The correct choice is the third 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 case of the simple past tense is: "Singular object + was + past participle form of the main verb + by + agent of the action."
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The cockroach was killed by her."
