Correct answer: B
To determine the correct question tag, we must apply the rules for constructing tags in English grammar.
Grammar Rule: Question Tags
Question tags are short questions added to the end of a statement to ask for confirmation.
Positive to Negative: If the main statement is positive, the tag must be negative.
Matching Verb and Subject: The auxiliary verb (in this case, "was") and the pronoun ("she") must match the main clause.
Statement: "She was wearing..." (Positive, past continuous)
Tag: "...wasn't she?" (Negative, past, matching pronoun)
