    d. The website was redesigned by a team of professionals.

    Explanation:

    In any given sentence, changing of the active voice to passive voice can be determined by the way the subject and the object of the sentence are positioned. For passive voice, the subject in the active voice will come in the position of the object in the passive voice.

    In the given sentence,

    Passive voice: The website was redesigned by a team of professionals

    the subject which receives the action is "a team of professionals". But in an active voice, the action will be received by "the website" meaning the sentence in an active voice will be-

    Active voice: A team of professionals redesigned the website.

    Thus, the correct answer is option d.

    The answer is d - The website was redesigned by a team of professionals.

    Explanation: This is the only sentence in the options above that has a passive verb. That is, the doer of the action assumes the grammatical position of an object while the object was moved to the subject position. It also makes use of 'by'.
