The correct answer is "haven't they".
Explanation & Key Takeaways:
• The general rule of question tag is that if the statement is positive, the tag should be negative, and vice versa.
• The statement "They've already left," is positive (meaning no negative words like "not" are present), so the question tag should be negative.
• Additionally, the verb in the tag must match the auxiliary or modal verb in the statement. In this sentence, the verb is "have".
• When we combine these two rules, we find that the correct question tag for this statement would be "haven't they".
Therefore, the correct answer is "option 3".
