Correct Answer: The headquarters of the Bombay Stock Exchange are housed on Dalal Street.


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

A passive voice sentence is one where the subject of the sentence undergoes the action rather than performing it. In the original sentence, "Dalal Street houses the headquarters of the Bombay Stock Exchange," the subject is "Dalal Street," and the verb is "houses".

The correct structure of the passive voice is: object + verb + subject.

Therefore, the correct answer is: The headquarters of the Bombay Stock Exchange are housed on Dalal Street.
