The correct answer is "voice used in writing in which the subject of a sentence does the action".
To determine the correct answer, you need to understand what the active voice is. Active voice is a grammatical term that describes a sentence in which the subject of the sentence performs the action indicated by the verb.
In the given options, the first option is incorrect because it mentions "voice of writing using the past tense", which is not a defining characteristic of active voice. The second option correctly defines active voice as "voice used in writing in which the subject of a sentence does the action". This option accurately describes the active voice. The third option states "voice used in writing in which the subject of the sentence receives the action", which actually describes the passive voice, not the active voice. The fourth option is also incorrect as it mentions "voice of writing using the present tense", which is not a defining characteristic of active voice.
So, the correct match for active voice is the second option, "voice used in writing in which the subject of a sentence does the action".
