The correct answer is "Did Mary pack the bag?"

Key Points
  • In the active voice, the subject of a sentence performs the action.
  • It follows a clear subject + verb + object construct that's easy to read.
    • Example: The dog chases the cat. 
  • In active voice, the subject of the sentence (Mary) should come before the verb (pack).
  • "Did" is the helping verb used to form the questions or interrogative sentences in past tense.
  • The sentence will now reads as a direct question, rather than a passive statement i.e.
    • Did Mary pack the bag?

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
