Wrong!
After "I am" in a positive statement, the usual question tag is "aren't I".
3She has a daughter, ...............?
Wrong!
Here "has" shows possession in a positive statement, so the expected tag is "hasn't she".
4Nobody phoned, ...............?
Wrong!
Because "Nobody" makes the statement negative, the correct positive past-simple tag is "did they".

Wrong!
