Explanation
The correct passive form of the sentence 'You did not kill a lion in the forest.' is 'A lion was not killed by you in the forest.' This transformation requires changing the active voice past indefinite tense ('did not kill') to its passive form, which involves using 'was' for past tense along with the past participle of the verb ('killed'). The subject and object are inverted in passive voice, with 'a lion' becoming the subject. Other options are incorrect due to tense misalignment or incorrect verb form use.In passive voice:Object +was/were+not+3rd form of verb+by+subject.

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.
