Key Points

  •  The given sentence is in passive voice, and the sentence is in the present perfect tense.
  •  In passive voice, the sentence emphasizes the action or the object of the sentence. 
  •  The passive format '' has/have + been + third form of the verb(V3) is used''.
  • So, the active format ''has/have + V3" will be used in the conversion.
  • On conversion, 'the termites' will become the subject of the active form, and 'her wooden almirah' becomes the object .
  • Therefore, the correct active form is 'The termites have destroyed her wooden almirah.'
  • Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
