Correct?

A: I hate being made fun of.
B: I hate being taken advantage of.
C: I love being given appreciation to.

Are these correct and natural? I am trying to learn this pattern of sentences. Thank you.

Sentences A and B are correct. Sentence C is not. It should not have the word "it" at the end, or elsewhere in the sentence.

There is no 'it' used in the sentence C. What are you talking about?
