The correct answer is Option 3.
 
Key Points
  • Passive voice structure: The object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
  • In the active voice, the sentence is: "Sindhu mailed the letter."
  • To convert to passive voice: Place the object "the letter" at the beginning.
  • Change the active verb form "mailed" to "was mailed" (simple past passive).
  • Add the preposition "by" followed by the original subject "Sindhu."
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.
 
Correct Sentence: "The letter was mailed by Sindhu."
 
Additional Information
  • Option 1: "Sindhu was mailed by the letter." – Incorrect subject-verb agreement.
  • Option 2: "The letter was mailed by the Sindhu." – Incorrect article usage ("the Sindhu").
  • Option 4: "Letter mailed by the Sindhu." – Incomplete structure (missing "was").
