The correct answer is Option (2) → didn't you
Question tags:
- Rule: a positive statement takes a negative tag, and a negative statement takes a positive tag.
- When the statement has no helping verb, the tag uses a form of do in the same tense:
- Simple present: do / does.
- Simple past: did.
- This sentence: "You went ..." is positive and in the simple past, with the subject you, so the tag is didn't you.
Complete sentence: You went to the market yesterday, didn't you?
