Explanation
When a sentence is changed into passive voice, the meaning of a sentence doesn't change, only the structures of words are changed. In active voice, action is done by the subject while in passive voice action is done by the object i.e. subject receives the action. In the given sentence the subject is ''they'' object is ''King'' and the verb is ''made''. In passive voice, the object ''king'' will become the subject as ''he'', and the subject ''they'' will become ''them''. So the given sentence will become "He was made king by them" hence D is the closest answer.

About Active and Passive Voice
Active voice presents the doer as the subject, while passive voice presents the receiver of the action and uses an appropriate form of “be” with the past participle.
