The sentence that emphasizes that the subject of the sentence is doing the action is A. The farmer sold over forty pumpkins at the local market on Saturday.

Option A is in active voice, while the others are in passive voice. One of the reasons for choosing to use passive or active voice is the emphasis on the subject and doer of the action. Passive voice is usually used when the subject is not really important and what you want the audience pay attention to is the action itself. That is why, in passive voice, the agent ("by the farmer") can and usually is ommitted.

In active voice, on the other hand, the focus is on the person that is doing the action rather than on the action itself.

Is one character's story more important than the other?​
maks197457 [2]
Character, as if the two were gladiators, waging war on the sands of the Coliseum in some winner-take-all death battle. Both sides of the debate claim a definitive superiority for their chosen gladiator, and for the most part, the battle splits nicely down the lines of literary and commercial fiction, the commercialists placing the emphasis on plot in the interest of producing “page turners,” while the literati poke up their noses at the thought of anything so crude and artless.
