This dish isn't very tasty.

正解 · Answer

解説 · Why

あまり ("(not) very") is a negative-polarity adverb: it must be answered by a negative predicate — あまりおいしくない. The past negative of an い-adjective is 〜くなかったです.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
い-adjectives never take でした; and the polarity is still wrong.
Not a valid conjugation of an い-adjective.
あまり requires a negative predicate, so an affirmative is ungrammatical here.
