B.
Passive voice indicates that the subject of the sentence (EFFECTS of cyanide) is not the source of the action.
We can turn this example sentence around to say: “[Most people] know well the effects of cyanide.”
We cannot do the same with the other sentences. All their subjects are the source of action.
Hope this helps.

Passive is when something is done to the subject of the sentence by someone or something else. It is formed by using the appropriate form of “are” + the third form of a verb…
read= are + read
The books are read by the students.
eat = are + eaten
The cookies were eaten by my husband.
build = are + built
The new gym was built by the new contractor.
