Correct Answer:
C. The bananas are being eaten by them.
Explanation:
The passive form of the sentence "They are eating bananas" is "The bananas are being eaten by them." Since the original active voice sentence uses the present continuous tense, the passive construction follows the structure of placing the receiver of the action first, followed by the appropriate form of "to be," the word "being," and the past participle of the verb.
