The passive voice form of this sentence requires the subject of the sentence (students) to be the object of the preposition "by" in the passive voice form. Option A uses the modal verb "should", which does not convey the same sense of obligation as "must" in the active voice sentence. Option C is in the present tense, which does not fit the meaning of the original sentence. Therefore, option B is the correct passive voice form because it maintains the meaning and grammatical structure of the original sentence.
