Solution
The correct option is B hadn't he Question tags transform a declarative or imperative sentence into
interrogative. They are formed using the verb (the auxiliary/helping verb) and pronoun (that indicates
the subject) from the sentence. The pronoun derived from the given sentence is 'he' ('he' refers to Ram) and 'had' is the verb. Hence the question tag formed will be: hadn't he? (helping verb + pronoun). The question tag is negative (i.e., hadn't he) when the sentence is positive (Ram had) and vice versa. Hence option A is correct. Options B and D are incorrect because neither 'did' nor 'didn't' are used here in the sentence. Option C is incorrect because 'has' is a present tense verb whereas the sentence indicates the past.
