Those who worked hard seldom obtained good marks.
Answer: D
Correct answer: Good marks were seldom obtained by those who worked hard
The active verb is obtained - past simple. The passive of a past simple is was/were + past participle, so obtained becomes were obtained, agreeing with the new subject good marks (plural).
The object good marks moves to the front, the subject those who worked hard follows by, and the adverb seldom keeps its place before the main verb. The other options shift the tense to are, to the continuous, or to an inverted seldom had… construction that changes the meaning.
