The statement that describes a difference between the active voice and passive voice is:

C. Compared to the passive voice, the active voice emphasizes an action.

In active voice, the subject performs the action, making it more direct and dynamic, while in passive voice, the focus shifts to the action itself or the recipient of the action, which can make it less direct.
