अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (4)
The correct answer is **have they** (Option 4).
**Comprehensive Derivation:**
The correct answer is "have they".
Explanation & Key Takeaways:
• The statement is negative, so the question tag should be positive.
• 'Have' in 'have they' is the correct auxiliary verb to use because it matches with 'have' used in the sentence.
• 'They' is the pronoun matching the subject 'my friends'.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 4".
NOTE: In PYP, 'needed' is written in place of 'need' in the question which is grammatically incorrect. We have replaced it with 'need' to maintain the correct structure of the sentence.
