Solution

The correct option is B Is / isn't
The correct answer is Option C.
IS is used when we refer to a single person or thing. SURNAME is singular, hence IS is the correct answer.
From NO in the second part of the given question, we know that the surname is not Smith. This is why ISN'T is the answer. It is a contraction of 'is not.'
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option A: This is grammatically incorrect.
Option B: IS would be correct if the surname was Smith.
Option D: ARE is used for plural.
Hence Option C is the correct answer.
