Hint: Read the given phrase/sentence carefully. Try to make out the meaning of it and find the subject or the predicate or the main object of the sentence.

Complete answer:
A question tag (also known as question tail) is a grammatical structure in which a declarative or an imperative statement is turned into a question by the addition of an interrogative fragment (the “tag”). For example, in the sentence “You’re John, aren’t you?”, the statement “You’re John” is turned into a question by the tag “aren’t you”.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct option-
Option ‘a’ is Aren’t I? It means – am I not? It can be the correct answer as it can fit perfectly in the given blank. It would be grammatically and logically correct.
Option ‘b’ is Am I? It cannot be used in the given sentence, as it would be grammatically incorrect. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option ‘c’ is Will I? It cannot be the correct option as it is in the future tense and the first part of the statement is in the present tense.
Option ‘d’ is Won’t I? This is also an incorrect option and cannot be used in the given question. So, we will eliminate this option as well.

Hence, the option ‘a’ is the correct option.

Note:
For question tags, you must know that if the statement is positive, the question tag will be negative, whereas if the statement is positive, the question tag will be negative.
