Do it.
A. Let it be done.
B. Lets do it.
C. Let do it.
D. Let it be do.

Answer 1

Hint: A passive voice is a form of a sentence in which the subject is the receiver of the verb’s action. Example: Banana was eaten by the monkey. The given sentence “do it”, needs to be changed into passive voice. The verb here is ‘do’. We will look for an option in which the subject is the recipient of this verb ‘do’.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually in detail to figure out the correct option with the help of the above stated hint.
Let it be done: In this sentence, the word ‘it’ represents the subject and is the receiver of the verb’s action. Therefore, this is in passive voice. This is the correct option.

Lets do it: In this sentence, the subject is ‘us’ and it is the doer of the action (do). Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Let do it: This sentence is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Let it be do: This sentence is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, this is not the correct option.

Hence, the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Usually a sentence is in an active voice where the subject is the doer of the action of the verb. Example: Ravi plays football. A sentence is written in a passive voice when we need to highlight the object. Example: Football is played by Ravi.
