Explanation:
To change an active voice sentence with a modal verb and a phrasal verb into passive voice, the structure is 'Subject (object of active) + modal + be + past participle of phrasal verb + by + agent (subject of active)'. The phrasal verb is 'look down on'. Therefore, the correct passive voice is 'The poor must not be looked down on by us.'
