The correct passive voice of the given sentence is this '' This lock can not be repaired by us''.
Explanation:
- In passive voice, the action of the verb is on the target point.

(based on the options given, there is an error in the question "it should "your lock" and not "this lock")
We cannot repair your lock (active)
(d) Your lock cannot be repaired (passive)
Explanation:
- The active voice defines a sentence wherein the "subject" performs the action as stated by the "verb". It follows a clear subject+verb+object construct that is easy to read.
- In the passive voice, the "subject "is no longer "performing the action of the verb", and instead it is being "acted upon by the verb". That is, the subject of a sentence is not the "doer" of the action, however, the "recipient" of the action.
- The passive voice show "interest" in the "person/object that experiences the action" instead of the person/object which performs the action. That is, the most important thing/person becomes the "subject of the sentence". Example, They are repairing the road (Active), The road is being repaired (passive). (we are interested in the "road" (object/person experiencing an action), not in the people (they) who are doing the repairs.)
- Hence, based on the above, we write "Your lock cannot be repaired" ("by us" is not required as we are interested only in the "lock" (object/person experiencing an action)
