Concept: To convert a passive voice sentence into active voice: \[ \text{Object + Passive Verb} \] becomes \[ \text{Subject + Active Verb + Object} \]

Step 1:
Identify the passive structure. \[ \text{Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest playwright of all times.} \] The verb phrase: \[ \text{is regarded} \] is in passive voice.

Step 2:

The doer is not specified, so we use a general subject such as "People."

Step 3:
Rewrite in active voice. \[ \text{People regard Shakespeare as the greatest playwright of all times.} \]

Step 4:
Check the options. Only option (A) gives the correct active-voice transformation. \[ \boxed{\text{People regard Shakespeare as the greatest playwright of all times}} \]
