hello?
whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):
Actually, I believe these are in the passive voice.
Passive for past tense, or things that had already happened.
Active for things that will be done or that are currently being done.

Going according to what your book says, it seems A is in the passive tense, because the subject is not performing the action, the action is being performed upon the subject.
