This old building __________ down next month to make way for a new park.

is going to be pulled

'Is going to be + past participle' is the passive form of the 'be going to' future, used for intentions or plans. The demolition is a planned event. Option (b) is active voice. Option (c) is simple present active voice. Option (d) is present perfect passive and refers to a past action.
