I suppose it should be "Your shoes need to be cleaned properly by you"

See it is simple because as we know that if any sentence have model like should, could, can, may need, dare etc then it must be used BE for converting it into passive we should use BE.

Any one can explain it properly in simple way, why the answer is option 'C'.

@Abhishek.

As we are talking about shoes i.e., the plural we are supposed to use 'need' but not 'needs' in the sentence.

Suppose you being a person let us assume Aakash.

Now as per the original answer by indiabix no where it is understandable that Aakash needs to clean his own shoes rather the inference from the answer is Aakash's shoes needs to be cleaned, which can be done by any one so with the change of voice the answer given is not the correct answer.

The correct answer should be "Your shoes needs to be cleaned properly by you" since the correct answer is not being provided in the option so one has to pick the closest one which unfortunately here is option C.

Despite of bringing wrong inference the correct answer in this regard in Option C
