${\underline{\underline{\bf{Explanation:}}}}$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎We know that the first step to change the voice is to identify the subject, the object and the verb in the sentence. So, let's identify those first. The subject is "He"; the object is "the window"; the verb is "shut" (has shut). Then, we've to look at the given sentence, and find the tense of its verb. The tense of the verb in our sentence is "Present Perfect Tense". Thus, the tense has to be changed to "Present Perfect Continuous Tense". So, it's structure will be: Object + have/has + been + third form of verb + by + subject. As we've already identified the subject, verb and object, we shall proceed finding the other components of the structure. The auxiliary verb have to be inserted. "Has" is the suitable auxiliary verb, here. The verb should be changed to its third form. And the third form of the verb "shut" is "shut" itself. Now, place every obtained components in the structure (The window has been shut by he). Look the the subject! It's a pronoun. And it has to be changed to an object pronoun. So, 'he' is changed to "him". Now substitute "him" instead of "he" in the sentence. And here we go with the correct answer. Final answer: The window has been shut by him.
