Answer 1

The correct answer is 'aren't I'.

Key Points

The sentence is a positive statement followed by a question tag.
The subject of the sentence is "I," and it is used with the verb "am."
In question tags, "am I not" is typically contracted to "aren't I" in informal speech.
Options 1, 2, and 3 are grammatically incorrect in this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Complete Sentence: "I am lucky to have friends who stand up for me, aren't I?"

Additional Information

Option 1: "isn't I" is incorrect because "isn't" is used with "he," "she," or "it."
Option 2: "wasn't I" is incorrect because the sentence is in the present tense, not past tense.
Option 3: "am I" is incorrect because it does not form a proper question tag.
