Answer 1

Hint:First we must know the meanings of all the options and choose the option which will be grammatically correct. Also we must see that the selected option will make the sentence meaningful.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The above given sentence needs a particular question tag to complete and correct it.
Let’s know the question tags, question tags turn a sentence into a question often to check whether the person agrees with you or not. For an example; “You met her yesterday, didn’t you”? In this sentence ‘didn’t you’ is a question tag.
Let’s now analyze the given options:
Is he: in a given sentence the person agrees that the subject ‘Aditya’ is growing tall so it should be a negative question tag which shows that the person is asking whether the other person agrees. So this is an inappropriate option.
Will he: while making tag questions we have to make sure that the tag should be related to the used statement. Given sentence is Present Tense but this option is Future Tense which is totally incorrect.
Won’t he: as mentioned above that the sentence is Present Indefinite but this option is past of Future Tense. So this is also an inappropriate option for a given sentence.
Isn’t he: the option (B) is an absolutely correct option as this is a Present Question Tag and even shows that the person is wandering if the other person agrees with him. So the correct sentence is “Aditya is growing tall, isn’t he?”.

Note:For choosing the correct option knowing actual meaning of the given question is necessary or else our sentence can be grammatically incorrect.
To understand such questions the study of ‘Question tag’ is required so that we can write correct sentences. We should practice more and more in order to inculcate them.
