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