Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice. She wrote a book.
A book was written by her.
Identify the tense. ‘Wrote’ is the simple past, and the passive of the simple past is was/were + past participle.
Making the change. The object ‘a book’ becomes the subject; being singular it takes was. The subject she becomes the agent, and after a preposition the object form is required — by her, not ‘by she’.
That gives ‘A book was written by her.’
Why the others fail — each shifts the time or the mood:
‘A book will be written by her.’ — simple future passive; the action has not happened yet.
‘A book can be written by her.’ — introduces the modal can, turning a completed act into a statement of ability.
‘A book is being written by her.’ — present continuous passive, describing writing still going on.
Two things to carry forward: the passive keeps the original tense, and the agent after by always takes the object pronoun (me, him, her, us, them).
