Solution

The correct option is C were they?
When a question tag is used, it has to negate the sense of the sentence, without changing the tense of the verb. Therefore, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the rule and also use words not mentioned in the sentence. Therefore, these are incorrect.
