•  d) are absorbed
  
  “The drugs affected by grapefruit juice usually have some difficulty entering the body after they are consumed because an intestinal enzyme partially destroys them as they ARE ABSORBED.”
  
  Again, there is a passive verb in the last clause. According to contextual clues provided in the sentence, the drugs quaffed by the arbitrary git undergo an enzyme reaction, not getting absorbed.
  
  O topico do periodo é "drugs", e esta em voz passiva porque o contexto comunica que "drugs" sofrem o processo exercido pelas enzimas. Destarte, o que falta é uma forma do verbo "absorb" no participio (past participle in English)= absorbed.
  

• They are consumed - They are absorbed se a primeira oração fosse They had been consumed a seguinte seria They had been absorbed. "As" é conjunção equivalente a "while".
