अचूक उत्तर: पर्याय (3)
The correct answer is "Is it?".
Explanation & Key Takeaways:
• In your sentence, "is" is the auxiliary verb and "it" is the subject.
• Together, they form the question tag "is it?".
• The rule of inversion states that if the main part of the sentence is positive, the question tag should be negative and vice versa.
• Here, although the statement seems positive ("No more sugar is needed"), it is actually a form of negative statement (because of the word "No") thus, the tag needs to be positive ("is it?").
Therefore, the correct answer is "Option 3".
