Correct Answer: can he
Solution : The first option is the correct answer.
Explanation: In English, when a negative statement is made, the corresponding tag question should be in the positive form. The original sentence is "He can't climb this tree, can't he?" The tag question should mirror the positive statement, which would be "He can climb this tree, can he?" The correct structure for a tag question is an affirmative statement with a negative tag.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: He can't climb this tree, can he?
