Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: A letter is being written by him.

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: (C) A letter is being written by him. šŸ“š Explanation: The original sentence is in the Present Continuous tense ('is writing'). When converting to passive voice, the continuous nature must be maintained using 'being'. The structure becomes: Object + is/am/are + being + Past Participle of the verb + by + Subject. Thus, 'is being written' is the only correct grammatical form.
