Correct Answer: The salary was paid to him by the employer.
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 voice in the case of the simple past tense is: Singular object + was + past participle of the main verb + by + agent of the action.
Therefore, the passive sentence would be: The salary was paid to him by the employer.
