Correct Answer: didn’t they?


Solution : The third option is the correct answer.

The sentence is a statement followed by a question tag. In English, when the main clause is in the past tense, the tag question should also be in the past tense. So, "didn't they?" is the correct form.

A question tag is a very short clause at the end of a statement that changes the statement into a question. A question tag is formed by inverting the subject and verb of a statement.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "They met yesterday, didn't they? "
