--answers--

The tokens are updated, are they?

--feedback--

Since the main sentence is positive, the tag question should be negative: aren't they?.

The tokens are updated, are them?

--feedback--

The tag question must use the subject they instead of the object them. The correct form is are they?.


The tokens are updated, do they?

Do they? is used for the verb do, not are. For a sentence with are, the correct tag question is aren't they?.

--explanation--

In tag questions, when the main sentence is positive and the subject is plural (like tokens), you use a negative tag question, aren't they?. This confirms or checks the information. The other options do not follow the correct tag question structure.
