B
Slices of fresh watermelon were provided by the booster club.
C
A tray was provided by the booster club of fresh watermelon slices.
D
The booster club provided a tray of fresh watermelon slices.

In active voice, the subject performs the action. The booster club is doing the providing, so make it the subject: “The booster club provided a tray of fresh watermelon slices.” The other choices keep the sentence in passive voice or awkwardly rearrange its words.
