Correct Answer: If I was you

Solution : The first option is correct.

Replace the verb was with were to make the sentence correct.
If I were is used when the subject of the sentence is referring to a hypothetical or imaginary situation.
"I were" is called the subjunctive mood and is used when you are talking about something that isn't true or when you wish something was true.
"If I was" is used to refer to a situation that actually happened in the past.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I f I were you, I would not lose temper in this situation.
