Verified by Toppr

The two basic rules about question tags are that if the statement is positive the tag must be negative and vice versa and that the tense of the tag is determined by the tense of the auxiliary/modal verb of the statement that precedes it ('was' in this case).
In tune with the above-mentioned rules, option C, 'wasn't it' is the correct answer. Since the statement is positive and in the past tense, the tag is negative and in the past tense as well.
Options A, B and D are incorrect because they do not adhere to the above-mentioned rules.
