The correct answer is ''isn't he''. 

Key Points

  • In the given sentence ''isn't he'' is the correct usage. 
  • We know that positive statement is followed by a negative question tag. 
  • In the given sentence 'He is' will be changed into ''isn't he''.
  • And a question mark will be added. 
  • Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

 

Correct Answer: isn't he. 

  

  • We tend to mark Option 2 but it would be wrong because 'it' is not used for person.
