Option 4: The crops are being harvested by the farmers.
Correct Answer: The crops are being harvested by the farmers.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .
Passive voice is the voice in which the object experiences an action rather than the person who performs the action. Hence, the object in the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice.
The structure of the passive voice in the case of the present continuous tense is: "Plural object + are + being + past participle form of the main verb + 'by' followed by the agent of the action."
The correct sentence in passive voice is: "The crops are being harvested by the farmers."
