Whenever the sentence is in Simple Past Form....!!!
Ex : I wrote a letter (Active Voice).
A letter was witten by me.
Here, the structure is like this.... Obj + was + v3 + by + obj (In objective type pronoun).
Hence the answer is.....
The official on duty was spoken to by her.
(Meaning : She spoke to the official when he is on duty).

The official was spoken to by her on duty.
And, The official on duty was spoken to by her.
Then why we choose option A?
Both are grammatically correct, does "on duty" writing at last or middle make a difference?

The official on duty means the official who is on duty it is an adjective clause which is defining the subject so it can't be separated. They will come together.

How can we identify subject and object, why can't official is only the object instead of the official on duty. How can we identify an object in this case?

It is in simple past form. So we need to convert it to passive by using was+the 3rd form of verb.

We may use on duty at last. It will also correct. So, option B is correct.
