Explanation:


Concept
With present simple third-person singular (dislikes), the tag uses auxiliary does and flips polarity: affirmative clause → negative tag.


Reasoning
Main clause = positive (“He dislikes …” expresses a negative meaning but is grammatically affirmative), so the tag is negative: doesn’t he.


Option analysis
