B
The bestselling author’s new book was read by Cole.

Explanation

In passive voice, the subject receives the action, often with a form of “be” followed by a past participle. In B, the book was read by Cole; in D, a new species has been identified. A and C are active because their subjects perform the actions of meeting and shining.
