The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The sentence is a declarative sentence in the past tense: “You did not wait for us before you went to meet him.”
The tag “Isn’t it?” is incorrect here.
Since the main sentence is negative and in past tense (“did not wait”), the correct question tag should be “did you?”
Hence, (d) contains the error.
