Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Who taught you Mathematics?

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A) Who taught you Mathematics? šŸ“š Explanation: The passive sentence is an interrogative clause structured in the simple past tense, beginning with the agent phrase "By whom". In active voice transformations, "By whom" is replaced by the pronoun 'Who' at the start of the question. Since the helper 'were' shows a past state, the main verb must take its past form 'taught', followed directly by the object 'you' and the subject matter. This restores the active path of the inquiry.
