If it has to be one of those four options then it �s a) doesn �t one but I agree with ajurado.

I �d say neither option is totally correct, I �d go for the neutral "don �t they?"
One prefers
to shop at Harrolds, don �t they?

ONE PREFERS TO SHOP AT HARROLDS, DOESN�T HE/SHE?- singular, simple present
ONES PREFER TO SHOP AT HARROLDS, DON�T THEY?- plural , simple present
It�s the correct form for me.

I have a feeling the name of the shop is Harrods which is an up-market emporium in London. If one is a regular patron of Harrods, one instinctively knows that use of the first person singular/plural is ever so vulgar and non-u.
So, one prefers to shop at Harrods, doesn �t one?
Pip pip! |

I would say
"one prefers to shop at Harrods, don �t we?"
Can �t explain why I like this the most. When someone makes such a statement is because one knows of what is talking about, so it seems right to me.... |
