correct answer : a)
Explanation:
The original sentence has two passive clauses: ‘It has been claimed’ and ‘important data was being disclosed by employees’. In the active voice, the indefinite subject ‘Someone’ is used for the first clause (‘Someone has claimed’), and the object ’employees’ becomes the subject of the past continuous active clause (’employees were disclosing important data’).
मूल वाक्य में दो passive clauses हैं: ‘It has been claimed’ और ‘important data was being disclosed by employees’। Active voice में, पहले उपवाक्य के लिए ‘Someone’ कर्ता के रूप में प्रयुक्त होगा (‘Someone has claimed’), और दूसरे उपवाक्य में ’employees’ कर्ता बन जाएगा (’employees were disclosing important data’)।
