The correct answer is: "His father praised him."

Key Points

  • The sentence is in passive voice, where the subject (he) is receiving the action (praise) from the object (his father).
  • To convert it to active voice, we need to make the subject (his father) the doer of the action and the object (him) the receiver of the action.
  • Therefore, "His father praised him" is the correct active voice version of the given sentence.

Thus, the correct answer is option 4.
