The answer is b. past continuous in the passive voice.
To arrive at this answer, we can break down the sentence and analyze the tense and voice used.
"The club's amplification system needed to be adjusted continually."
In this sentence, the verb phrase "needed to be adjusted" indicates a past tense. The "to be" construction suggests the passive voice because it follows the pattern of subject + auxiliary verb "be" + past participle verb.
The adverb "continually" indicates a continuous or ongoing action. Therefore, the correct answer is b. past continuous in the passive voice.
