Tag questions: isn't it vs. is it

A. I don't think it's correct, is it?
B. I don't think it's correct, isn't it?

C. You don't think it's beautiful, do you?
D. You don't think it's beautiful, is it?
E. You don't think it's beautiful, isn't it?

1. Please advise which of the tag questions above are natural. Thanks so much.
2. I understand, of the last 3 sentences, C is more natural, but I was wondering if either D or E is also possible in spoken English because of "it's"?
