This would be active voice, I think, because the subject of the sentence (weeds) are performing the action contained in the verb (takeing over. Had this been passive voice, it would say something like "The garden was being taken over by the weeds" in which the subject is RECEIVING the action of the verb.

A. Although it initially sounds passive because of the gerund construction. Passive would be:
The garden was being taken over by weeds.

The verb is active since the weeds are (or were) performing the action.
