Who is creating this mess ?

  • A.Who has been created this mess ?
  • B.By whom has this mess been created ?
  • C.By whom this mess is being created ?
  • D.By whom is this mess being created ?

Answer: D

The passive form is By whom is this mess being created ?

The active question 'Who is creating this mess?' is in the present continuous. Its passive keeps that tense, using 'is being' plus the past participle 'created'. The subject 'who' becomes the agent 'by whom', placed first, and the object 'this mess' becomes the subject. As a question, the auxiliary 'is' comes before the subject: by whom is this mess being created?

'By whom this mess is being created?' keeps statement word order, so it is not a proper question. 'By whom has this mess been created?' changes the tense to present perfect, and 'Who has been created this mess?' is ungrammatical.
