    Mohan gave the beggar an old shirt.

    Solutions

    There are some verbs which can take two objects, for example-

    He gave me some money.

    You presented her a ring.

    There are two objects in these sentences. See:

    Gave             me               some money

    Presented     her               a ring

    The verbs which takes single object are called mono-transitive verbs. For example-

    They betrayed you.

    The verbs which takes two objects are called Di-transitive verb. The passive voice of sentences which have Di-transitive verbs can be made using any of the two objects.

    “Give” is a di-transitive verb, so the passive voice of the question sentence can be made in two ways:

    Active: Mohan gave the beggar an old shirt.

    Passive: 1. An old shirt was given to the beggar by Mohan.

                 2. The beggar was given an old shirt by Mohan.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.
