He is said to be very rich.

  • A.He is said to be very rich.
  • B.People say he is very rich.
  • C.He said it is very rich.
  • D.People say it is very rich.

Answer: B

Correct answer: People say he is very rich.

Turning a passive into the active requires an agent, and where none is given English supplies an indefinite one - people. He is said to be then unpacks into the clause he is very rich. The options with it lose the person the sentence is about.
