Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: didn't she? — Incorrect. "Did" is used for a simple past statement ("She left, didn't she?"). This statement has "is".
Option 2: aren't you? — Incorrect. The subject is "she", not "you", so the pronoun and the verb are both wrong.
Option 4: doesn't she? — Incorrect. "Does" goes with a simple present statement that has no helping verb ("She leaves early, doesn't she?").
