Active-Passive HELP !

0 Hello. Today on my English test I got a sentence to transform from active into passive. 02br
00Here's the sentence: 02br
02br
00"Who wrote it?" 02br
02br
00And I transformed it like this: 02br
00"From who it was written?" 02br
02br
00Is it correct? If it isn't, what's the way it should be? -Thanks. 0-
