Passive voice


........
Hello.....

The passive voice of the sentence below can be either A and B?

So, both are possible?

**************

He moved the table under the tree.

**************

A. The table was moved by him under the tree.

B. The table was moved under the tree by him.

If we understand the sentence to mean "He moved the table from the position not under the tree to the position under the tree", then it's the same in terms of passivization? Still A and B are both correct?
