Answer:
b. The flower bloomed earlier than expected.
Explanation:
The other three have 'was' before the verbs; 'the athlete <em>was</em> penalized', 'the child <em>was</em> fed', 'he <em>was</em> convinced', etc. This puts these three sentences in the passive voice. While, 'the flower <em>bloomed</em> earlier than expected' shows the flower acting the verb, rather than the verb acting on it, thus making putting it in the active voice.
hope this helps !!
