The correct answer is: "His simple request was denied by authorities."

Key Points
  • In passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence.
  • The verb is changed to its past participle form and "by" is added before the agent (the one performing the action).
  • "Denied" is the past participle form of the verb "deny."
  • The Active sentence structure is: Subject + Verb + Object
  • The Passive sentence structure is: Object + was + V3+ by + Subject
  • Therefore the correct passive form could be written as: His simple request was denied by authorities.

Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.
