    A The committee took the final decision regarding the budget proposal after several rounds of discussion. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The committee had taken the final decision regarding the budget proposal after several rounds of discussion. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The committee was taking the final decision regarding the budget proposal after several rounds of discussion. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The committee has taken the final decision regarding the budget proposal after several rounds of discussion. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Passive voice: was taken by the committee → active voice: the committee took
    The tense used is simple past (was taken), so the correct active voice must also be in simple past: took
    The rest of the sentence remains unchanged.
    Options 2, 3, and 4 use different tenses (past perfect, past continuous, and present perfect), so they are incorrect.
