Solution
The passive voice is used when we want to focus attention on the person or thing affected by the action. We make the person or thing the subject of the sentence, here, the cow and use the passive voice. The preposition "by" is used to indicate agent, the bus. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not follow the required structure, hence incorrect.
