    She knows him.

    Solutions

    There are some verbs which are followed by a particular preposition and then take an object with them. Such verbs show the state of mind and not any action. Such verbs take appropriate preposition after them instead of by. Some of such verbs are mentioned with their prepositions:

    Known to, surprised at, amazed at, startled at, annoyed with somebody, annoyed at something, included in, filled with, tired of etc.

    We can consider the following structure for such sentences:

    Active: Subject + verb + preposition + object...

    While converting such sentences into passive voices, the verb is always followed by the particular preposition. 

    Passive: Object + to be + verb (IIIrd form) + preposition + by + subject...

    Example: 

    Active: The police enquired into the case.

    Passive: The case was enquired into.

    Active: The children laughed at him.

    Passive: He was laughed at by the children. 

    The verb in this sentence is a prepositional verb since it carries preposition with it. While changing the voice of the sentence, we do not drop the preposition and it remains unchanged.

    Thus, option D is the correct answer.
