B Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'would' because this is a second conditional sentence expressing a hypothetical situation. The structure 'If I were you, I would...' is the standard form: 'were' indicates the hypothetical present (contrary to fact), and 'would' expresses the hypothetical result. 'Will' is used for real future situations, 'shall' is formal and typically for first person suggestions, and 'should' expresses advice or obligation.
