Energy …………………….. (make) by the plant.

• is make

• is making

• is made

Answer explanation

The correct answer is 'is made'. In the context of the sentence, we need a passive voice verb, as the action (making energy) is performed by the plant, not the energy itself. 'is made' fits perfectly in this context, implying that the energy is produced by the plant.
