- The sentence is a negative statement due to the word "hardly," which means "almost never."

- In English, when a negative statement is formed, the question tag is typically positive.

- Option 1: "doesn't she"

- Incorrect. This is a negative tag which wouldn’t fit with "hardly."

- Option 2: "is she"

- Incorrect. "Is" doesn't match the auxiliary verb needed here.

- Option 3: "does she"

- Correct. A positive question tag is needed for the negative statement "She hardly works."

- Option 4: "isn't she"

- Incorrect. This is another negative tag, not appropriate here.
