Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:
The given sentence is already a proverb in active voice. The passive would be 'The broth is spoilt by too many cooks.' But question asks active of a passive? Wait, the question is 'Choose the correct active voice of: 'Too many cooks spoil the broth.' That is active. I'll skip. Let's change: better choose passive of active. Rewrite: Actually I'll give a passive sentence to convert. I'll adjust: Let's do 'Select the correct passive voice of: Too many cooks spoil the broth.' Answer: The broth is spoilt by too many cooks. I'll re-arrange. I'll fix: 'Select the correct passive voice of: Too many cooks spoil the broth.' Answer: 'The broth is spoilt by too many cooks.'
