View Answer & Solution

Correct Answer: D (The database will be being updated during the session.) D

Detailed Solution:

The given sentence is in the Future Continuous Tense: "will be updating."
The structure of an active sentence in the future continuous tense is:

Subject + will be + verb (-ing) + object
To change it into the passive voice, we use the structure:

Object + will be being + past participle (V₃) + by + subject
Here, "the database" is the object and becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
The past participle of "update" is "updated."
Therefore, the correct passive form is: "The database will be being updated during the session."
Hence, Option (d) "The database will be being updated during the session." is the correct answer.
