Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: By whom was this book written?

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A) By whom was this book written? šŸ“š Explanation: When a sentence begins with 'Who', the passive form traditionally starts with 'By whom'. Since 'wrote' is in the simple past tense, the passive structure requires 'was/were + past participle'. Thus, 'By whom was this book written?' is the formal and grammatically accurate transformation.
