Answer 1

Hint:
- These sentences start with verbs. (is,am,are,had,should etc..)
- Intonation i.e the rising and falling tone is very important in yes/no questions.
- There is a prescribed order for verbs, object and subject in a yes/no question.

Complete answer:
A yes-no question, also known as a polar question or a general question in linguistics, is a question the whose expected answer is one of two options, one that affirms the question and one that denies the question. Yes-no questions are those that require either a yes or a no answer:
Are you a fan of vanilla ice cream? (either yes or no)
Have you ever witnessed a ghost? (either yes or no)

Let us analyze the given options:
A) Did he quit his job? The formation of the question is right but this is not the right yes/no question for the response that is already given. Thus, Option A is incorrect.
B) 'Yes/No’ questions are those that begin with a helping verb such as was, are, were, is, and so on. The order is Verb + Subject + Object in this case. “Did he decide to quit his job?” reads the given sentence. The verb is 'did,' the subject is 'he,' and the object is 'job.' Thus, Option B is the correct answer.
C) Will he be quitting his job? The response given in the question does not accurately respond to the given question. Thus, Option C is incorrect.
D) Has he decided to quit his job? Is also not the correct question for the given response as the components of the yes/no question are incorrect order. Thus, Option D is incorrect.

Thus Option B is the correct answer.

Note: When there are multiple auxiliary verbs or a modal verb plus auxiliary verb(s), we only put the first auxiliary or modal verb before the subject and the others after the subject:
Auxiliary + subject + auxiliary + verb

Negative yes-no questions are typically used to check or confirm something we believe or expect to be true, or when we believe that something is the best thing to do:
Isn’t that Pauline’s car? (I'm fairly certain that this is correct. I'm requesting confirmation.)
