  • In passive voice, the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence, and the focus shifts to the action rather than who performed it.
  • "By whom" is the correct usage because "whom" is the objective case of "who," suitable for the passive construction.
  • The structure also correctly forms a question in passive voice.
