Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The given sentence is in the Simple Present Tense ('paints').
The structural rule for changing Simple Present active voice into passive voice is:
Subject+is/am/are+V
3
(past participle)+by+Object
Here, the plural object 'Beautiful landscapes' becomes the subject, so it takes the plural helping verb 'are', followed by the third form of the verb 'painted'.
Hence, option C is correct.
