Detailed Solution

Active voice is where the subject of the verb is the one performing the action. Passive voice is where the initial subject is being acted upon, or the subject of the verb is no longer the one performing the action. 

The given statement is in simple past tense and the verb formation for passive voice is "was/were + past participle of the verb". Hence option A is correct. 

However, Option C is in the present perfect tense. 

The transitive verb (buy) always has a voice.
