A
Sonora organized the textbooks.
B
The textbooks had been by organized Sonora.
C
Sonora is organizing the textbooks.
D
The textbooks were being organized by Sonora.

Explanation

In active voice, the subject performs the action. Sonora is the one who organized the textbooks, so Sonora becomes the subject: “Sonora organized the textbooks.” This also keeps the original sentence in the past tense; choices B and C change the tense or aspect.
