I'd choose "does she"?. Generally, if the statement is positive, the tag question is negative and vice versa.

Yes, but tag does not refer to the first part I don't think, but to the second one she likes apples

I might be wrong, but this is my opinion.

I've just looked it up (I was confused too:-D)

These are the examples given:

"I think he's Norwegian, isn't he?
"I don't think it will rain, will it?
"I suppose you're hungry, aren't you?"

"Does she?" is correct.

"Does she?" is correct.

Can you kindly explain to me why you choose this answer?

I don't think she likes apples = I think she doesn't like apples, therefore,
She doesn't like apples, does she?

I got it. Barb_D. "I don't think she likes pineapples, does she?" is the correct answer. Many thanks again.:-D
