Explanation
In an active sentence, the subject (you) comes before the object (bicycle) but in a passive sentence, the object comes before the subject. Therefore A is correct.B is incorrect as it states that the bicycle will give the person to the speaker, and also because the subject came before the object.C and D are incorrect as the sentence should start with 'will', we mustn't change the sentence structure too much when converting active to passive.

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.
