    Prepare yourself for the worst.
    Solutions
    The given sentence is an imperative sentence. It is an order or warning. In such cases the normal structure is as follow:

    Active: Verb + object

    Passive: Let + object + be + past participle

    For example:
    Open the door.
    Let the door be opened.

    But as in here, the receiver of the order is a second person (you). So we can write the passive form of the sentence as an open comment omitting a subject/ object, as in "be ready" or "stand up".

    Thus, the passive voice becomes: Be prepared for the worst.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.
