The correct solution is option 4.

We need to follow these instructions while changing the voice of an assertive sentence.

• When changing from active voice to passive voice, we need to first identify the subject and object of the sentence and interchange them.
• Then identify the tense of the sentence and in the passive form use the same tense. The given sentence is in the present tense so helping verb in the passive form will have ‘is/am/are’.
• The verb in the passive form must be the past participle of the verb.
• ‘by’ is used before the object/ doer of the action.
• Here, ‘His’ is the subject and ‘me’ is the object so they are interchanged.
• 'alarmed' is the past participle of 'alarm'.

Following these steps, we finally get – "I was alarmed at his condition"
