Answer 1

Hint:In linguistics, a yes–no question is also known as a polar question or a general question. It is referred to as a question whose expected answer is one of two choices, one that's affirmative and affirms with the question and one that is negative and differs from the question.

Complete answer:
'Yes/No' questions are those questions which start from helping verbs like was, are, were, is, etc.
In such a case, the order is Verb + Subject + Object. In the given sentence, 'Does' is the verb, 'he' is the subject and 'time' is the object.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note:In English, there are two basic types of questions: Yes / No questions and Wh– questions. Yes / No questions are also known as closed ended questions because there are only two possible responses: Yes or No. When forming a Yes / No question, it must include one of these verbs: BE, DO, HAVE, or a modal verb. It will not be impossible to ask a Yes / No question without using one of these verbs. While wh questions are regarded as open ended questions because there are various possible answers to a single question. They require an answer more than a yes or a no. There are seven wh-questions with how being an exception.
Rule for forming a yes-no question
A yes-no question is formed with an auxiliary verb (be, do or have) + subject + main verb or with a modal verb + subject + main verb.
