Answer 1

Hint: A question tag helps in turning a statement to a question. It will have an auxiliary verb and a subject pronoun in it.

Complete step-by-step answer:

 Question tags or tag questions help change a statement to a question. Question tags are easy to be formed by considering the preceding statements. If the statement is positive, then the tag should contain its negative. If the statement is negative, the tag then becomes positive.
Example: It is a big house, isn’t it?
Additionally, the tense of the question tag must be the same of the auxiliary or modal verb as in its statement.
Thus, the given statement can be identified as positive. It thus becomes clear that our question tag should contain its negative.
We now identify the auxiliary verb and its tense – ‘are’, in the present tense. So, we must use the same modal verb and tense as its tag. Hence, it becomes clear that option a is the right question tag for the given statement.
Despite having the same tense, option b is wrong as it has a positive tag.
Options c and d are incorrect because ‘have’ can in no way be the right modal verb for the given statement.

Note: Most of the affirmative sentences are followed by a negative question tag. The answer to these questions can be either yes or no.
