Correct Answer: won’t he
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation : The error lies in the structure of the tag question. When the main part of the sentence contains a modal verb (like won't, can't, shouldn't, etc.), the tag question should use the opposite polarity. So, in this case, instead of "won't he?" it should be "will he?". The correction aligns the tag question with the opposite polarity of the modal verb "won't" used in the main clause.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "He won’t come to school tomorrow, will he ?"
