ANSWER
The given sentence is in the active voice, as the subject 'The tiger' performs an action 'caught' against the object 'a fox'.
If this sentence is changed to passive voice, then the subject is also changed, in order to retain the meaning of the sentence.
So, the object takes the place of the subject and vice versa and the word 'by' is introduced as now the subject receives the action by the object. The verb form of the sentence is also changed from active form to passive.
'Subject (The tiger) + verb (caught) + object (a fox)' changes to:
'New subject (A fox) + verb (was caught) + by + new object (the tiger)'
The passive form of 'caught' in the simple past tense is 'was caught'.
This can be seen in option B, hence it's the right answer.
Option A: The tense of the given sentence is in past, whereas here the verb 'has been' expresses the present perfect tense.
Option C: Similarly, 'is caught' is not the passive form of the past tense verb 'caught'. The right form is 'was caught'.
Option D: ''Had been caught' is in the past perfect tense whereas the verb here is in the simple past tense 'caught'.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
