Key Points  

• In Active Voice, a sentence emphasizes the subject, performing an action.
• In Passive Voice, a sentence emphasizes the action or the object of the sentence.
• The given sentence is in the active voice and 'She' is the subject and 'you' is the object.
• When we convert this sentence into a passive voice, the subject 'She' of the active voice becomes the object 'her', the object ''you'' becomes the subject.

• We use 'do' with other personal pronouns (you, we, they) and with plural noun forms.
• The verb 'need' is the base form of the verb.
• Therefore, from the given options the only third-person present singular verb 'needs' should be used in the blank.

The correct answer is 'O king, I am thy humble servant.'

Key Points

• The punctuation mark 'comma' is used always after a dependent clause that starts a sentence (here, O king).
• Also, the word 'thy' is an archaic or dialect form of ''your''.
• Therefore, from the context of the sentence, no punctuation mark is needed after the word 'thy'.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Complete Sentence: O king, I am thy humble servant.
