The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
This is a passive voice sentence. A passive sentence generally follows: \[ \text{Subject}+\text{was/were}+V_3+\text{object/complement}+\text{by + agent} \]

Step 1: Identify the subject.
The subject is: \[ \text{A comic story} \] So part \(A\) should come first.

Step 2: Identify the verb phrase.
The verb phrase is: \[ \text{was told} \] So part \(C\) comes after \(A\).

Step 3: Add recipient and agent.
The phrase \[ \text{to the students} \] comes after the verb. The agent is: \[ \text{by our new teacher} \] So it comes at the end.

Step 4: Correct order.
\[ A+C+B+D \]

Step 5: Complete sentence.
\[ \text{A comic story was told to the students by our new teacher.} \]

Step 6: Final answer.
\[ \boxed{\text{ACBD}} \]
