Answer : 1. "The movie has been downloaded by him on his phone."
Explanation :
The given sentence is in the active voice. We have to change the sentence into passive form.
The given sentence is written in 'present perfect tense.'
The structure of these kinds of sentences is:
Active Voice: Subject + have/has + V3 + Object.
Passive Voice: Object + have/has + been + V3 + by (preposition) + Subject.
Let’s see another example:
Active voice: The minister has called an emergency meeting.
Passive voice: An emergency meeting has been called by the minister.
The subject of the given sentence is 'He' and the object of the given sentence is 'the movie'.
So, in the passive voice, the position of ‘subject’ and ‘object’ will be interchanged.
Also here, 'has downloaded' will be changed into 'has been downloaded'.
'He' will be changed into 'him.'

Answer : 3. "A large pizza was being eaten by him."
Explanation :
In Active Voice, a sentence emphasizes the subject, performing an action.
In Passive Voice, a sentence emphasizes the action or the object of the sentence.
The given sentence is in the active voice and 'He' is the subject and 'a large pizza' is the object.
When we convert this sentence into passive voice, the subject 'He' of the active voice becomes the object 'him', the object 'a large pizza' becomes the subject.
The passive format "was + being + V3 (eaten)" should be used.
This is the active and passive voice rule for the past continuous tense.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
