Solution :

To convert the active voice sentence into passive voice, we follow these steps:

1. Identify the subject, verb, and object in the active voice sentence:
- Subject: Ishika
- Verb: saw (simple past tense of "see")
- Object: the tiger
- Adverbial phrase: in the forest

2. In the passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the new subject:
- New Subject: The tiger

3. Convert the verb into the passive form for the simple past tense. The pattern is:
was/were + past participle (V3) of the verb
Since "the tiger" is singular, we use "was". The past participle of "saw" is "seen".
- Passive Verb: was seen

4. Add the agent (the original subject) preceded by the preposition "by":
- Agent: by Ishika

5. Keep the adverbial phrase "in the forest" in its appropriate place (usually at the end of the clause):
- Adverbial phrase: in the forest

Combining these elements gives us the passive voice sentence:
"The tiger was seen by Ishika in the forest."

Therefore, the correct option is:
The tiger was seen by Ishika in the forest.
