Maarten K.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

Passive voice - in this case using être in passé composé, followed by appropriate past participle in agreement - "le livre / écrit". 

However, as the book was not written by the students but for them, the preposition pour rather than par is used :
