Sentence (C) is written in the ACTIVE VOICE. When the speaker or writer wants to focus on the person or agent that performs the action, he /she produces sentences in the active voice. By contrast, if he/she wants to put the focus on the “receiver” of the action or if the agent or person who performs the action is not important, a sentence in the passive voice can occur.

In essence, the Gamemakers choose to prolong her suffering as a way of prolonging the entertainment of the audience. In each case, the tributes are treated essentially as commodities, rather than people, the purpose of which is to entertain.
