The correct option that turns the sentence written in passive voice into active voice is: "The team lost the game because the players made mistakes."

To turn the given sentence from passive voice to active voice, we need to rephrase it so that the subject of the sentence (the coach) is performing the action. Option 2, "The coach said the team lost by making many mistakes," accomplishes this by putting the coach as the subject and stating that the team lost due to making many mistakes. Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer.
