C) Sugar plantations were violent systems, but sugar also led some people to reject slavery.

The sentence that is written in the passive voice is option D) “Ethan's games were ruined by the rain that came through the ceiling leak.”
The passive voice is used when the focus is on the action and not on what or who performed it and then the object of the active sentence becomes the subject in the passive voice. In this case, the focus is on the action that the games were ruined and not on who or what ruined them.
The passive voice is formed by subject (previous object) + auxiliary verb + past participle. In this example, the passive voice is formed as follows:
Ethan's games (subject) were ruined (auxiliary +past participle) by the rain that came through the cealing leak.
Option A is in the active voice, in the present tense
Options B and C are in the active voice, in the past tense.
