Explanation
A question tag repeats the auxiliary (helping) verb of the statement with opposite polarity. The statement uses the main verb 'moves' with the auxiliary 'does' in the simple present, so the tag must be 'doesn't it'. 'Isn't it' wrongly uses 'be', which does not appear in the statement. Hence the correct tag is 'doesn't it', option (C).
