He laughed at the beggar.

  • A.The beggar was laughed at by him.
  • B.The beggar was being laughed at by him.
  • C.The beggar was laughed by him.
  • D.The beggar was being laughed by him.

Answer: A

Correct answer: The beggar was laughed at by him.

Laugh at is a prepositional verb, so at stays with the participle; dropping it leaves the verb unable to reach its object. The past simple gives was laughed at, not the continuous.
