    A guest speaker presented yesterday's lecture - uses active voice.

    Answer: C

    Explanation

    An active voice can be identified if the noun or the subject of the sentence makes an action or verb on the object.

    Whereas in a passive voice, the object had made action or verb upon the subject or noun of the sentence.

    These are taken in accordance with subject-verb agreement.

    In most sentences, passive voice can be easily found out by the presence of the word 'by'.

    Among all the above options except C, each sentence uses the word 'by'.
