Correct Answer: I am


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

In a sentence, the verb is used according to person and number . If two nouns or pronouns are connected by as-well-as, the verb will conform to the first subject. Thus, am should be replaced with are.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: You as well as I are responsible for our losses.
