Answer:

The correct answer are letters "A", "B", and "C": To de-emphasize negative news; To emphasize an action instead of the recipient of an action; To conceal the doer of an action.

Explanation:

Passive voice is used in sentences to place attention on the object, not in the subject of the statement. In Business, passive voice is used with marketing purposes when the doer of an action is unknown, when the doer is intended to remain hidden to put emphasis only in the action or when negative news is to be provided giving them less importance.
