- D. Why is a lie being told you?
Explanation
- The original sentence "Why do you tell a lie?" is in active voice, where the subject "you" performs the action of telling a lie.- To convert it to passive voice, we need to make the lie the subject, and the action (telling) is performed on it. Hence, the correct passive voice construction is "Why is a lie told by you?"- This construction emphasizes the lie, rather than the person telling it (you).
