Correct Answer: were


Solution : The right choice is the fourth option .

The sentence "if I were you, I would not have appeared for the entrance exam" uses the subjunctive mood to express a hypothetical situation. In English, the subjunctive mood often uses "were" instead of "was" when talking about unreal or hypothetical situations.

So, "were" is the correct form in this context.
