Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Active voice is a grammatical term used to describe a sentence or clause in which the subject performs the action expressed by the verb. In an active voice construction, the subject is the doer of the action, and the recipient of the action, if there is one, is the object.
The structure of the active voice in the simple past tense is subject + did not + verb + object + additional phrase.
Therefore, the sentence in the active voice is: The cyclone did not cause much damage to the life and property in July this year at the Andhra coast .
