The correct option is C.

In English language, sentence can be written in active form or in passive form. To change a sentence written in passive voice to active voice do the following:

1. Look at the sentence carefully and determine the subject of the sentence. The subject of a sentence is the one who is performing an action in that sentence.

2. Determine the object of the sentence. The object of the sentence is the person or thing on whom an action is been performed.

3. Put the subject in the front of the sentence and place the object towards the end of the sentence.

In the sentence given above, 'My parent' is the subject of the sentence while 'our' family is the object. So, to write the sentence in the active voice, 'My parent' which is the subject will come first, follow by the object, which is 'our family

After reading the sentence and the answer choices, we can choose the following as the best revision from passive to active voice:

C. My parents decided that our family would go camping this weekend.

What is the difference between passive and active voice?A sentence in the passive voice emphasizes the receiver of an action, whereas a sentence in the active voice emphasizes the performer of an action.Thus, in the passive voice, the subject of the sentence is NOT the performer of the action. That is shown through the structure: subject + to be + past participle + agent.On the other hand, in the active voice, the subject is the performer. The structure is: subject + verb + object.Take a look at the examples:

Passive: The tree was cut by me.

Active: I cut the tree.

How to change the sentence from passive to active voice?Identify the subject of the passive sentence. It will become the object of the active one.Identify the agent of the passive sentence. It is preceded by the preposition "by". In the active sentence, it becomes the subject.Remove the auxiliary "to be" and change the main verb, maintaining the verb tense.Thus:

Original: “It was decided by my parents that our family would go camping this weekend.”

Revised: “My parents decided that our family would go camping this weekend.”

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter C as the best option.
