Explanation
The original sentence "Communication technology has brought a tremendous revolution in modern societies" is in the active voice, with 'communication technology' as the subject performing the action of 'bringing.' In passive voice, we change the structure so that 'a tremendous revolution' becomes the subject, thus focusing on the action's receiver. Therefore, the correct sentence is 'A tremendous revolution has been brought by communication technology in modern societies.' Here, 'has been brought' is the passive verb form, and 'by communication technology' indicates the agent. Other options incorrectly structure the passive sentence or suggest incorrect relationships between the subject and action.
