Answer: (C)

aren't you?

Question tags are short questions used at the end of sentences for one of the two reasons:

- to encourage the expected response;

- to confirm the action/ event mentioned in the sentence.

Question tags are formed with the auxiliary or modal verb from the statement and the appropriate subject. A positive statement is followed by a negativ question tag and vice versa. The given statement is a positive sentence, hence the question tag will be negative. The helping verb used is 'are'. Therefore the question tag is: aren't you?
