Choose the correct passive voice for the active sentence: ‘Something is troubling her.’

AShe was troubling by something.
BShe is troubled by something.
CShe is trouble by something.
DShe is troubled.

Explanation

Unlike a completely unknown agent such as ‘someone,’ which is typically dropped in the passive voice, an indefinite subject like ‘something’ is usually retained in the passive sentence because it still conveys meaningful, if vague, information about the cause. This is why ‘She is troubled by something’ correctly keeps the agent, rather than simply stating ‘She is troubled,’ which would lose part of the original sentence’s meaning.
