Choose the best answer for each of the following questions.
Choose the sentence that uses the passive voice.
a. Brandon and Jake haven't been told the new yet.****
b. That restaurant has never received a good review.
c. Krista's cat was born with six toes on each paw.

You're right; it's "a."
Passive and active voice:
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/passive.htm
Basically, if the subject in a sentence or clause is DOING the action of the verb, that's active voice. If the subject in a sentence or clause is NOT DOING the action of the verb, that's passive voice.
