Explanation
- The original sentence "Some people do not raise sugar cane in Hawaii" is in active voice, where the subject "some people" performs the action of not raising sugar cane.- To convert it to passive voice, we need to make the sugar cane the subject, and the action (not raising) is performed on it. Hence, the correct passive voice construction is "Sugar cane is not raised by some people in Hawaii".

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. Questions cover tense changes, modal verbs, omitted agents and sentences that cannot be passivized because they lack a suitable object.
