Correct Answer: didn't he


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

When the statement is positive, we use a negative question tag. Here, we would replace "hadn't he?" with "didn't he?" to correct the sentence. Since the given statement is in the simple past tense, its question tag would also be in the simple past tense.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "C. V. Raman became famous when he got the Nobel Prize, didn't he?"
