Explanation:

The given sentence is of present perfect tense and it is in active form. The structures for active/passive voices are: Active: Subject + has/have + verb (IIIrd form) + object... Passive: Object + has/have + been + verb (IIIrd form) + by + subject... Options 2 and 4 are incorrect as it uses the incorrect helping verb ‘has’, while the subject is plural. Option 3 is incorrect as the original statement is in present perfect tense and the converted statement too needs to be in the same. Option 1 is the correct Answer.
