Explanation:

The name of voice is given to the form assumed by the verb to indicate if the grammatical subject is agent or patient of the action that the verb is referring to. In this way, active voice occurs when the subject is an agent, that is, when the subject practices the action expressed by the verb.

In case of alternative C, in the sentence "The chairman told me that the legislature passed the bill." The subject of the phrase "the chairman" is the agent of the action shown by the verb "told".

That is, who is telling me that the legislature approved the bill? The chairman!

nominative
