Solution :

To convert the given active voice sentence into passive voice, let us analyze its grammatical structure step-by-step:

1. Identify the key components of the active sentence:
- Subject: "Gill"
- Verb: "scored" (which is in the simple past tense)
- Object: "3 centuries"
- Adverbial phrase: "in Tata IPL 2023"

2. Apply the rules for passive voice conversion:
- The object of the active sentence ("3 centuries") becomes the new subject of the passive sentence.
- Since "3 centuries" is plural, the past tense auxiliary verb to use is "were" (instead of "was").
- The main verb is converted to its past participle form, which is "scored".
- The original subject ("Gill") is introduced using the preposition "by".
- The remaining part of the sentence ("in Tata IPL 2023") is appended to complete the context.

3. Formulate the passive sentence:
Combining these elements, we get:
"3 centuries were scored by Gill in Tata IPL 2023."

Thus, the correct option is 3 centuries were scored by Gill in Tata IPL 2023.
