D Correct answer
Explanation

This is a hypothetical conditional statement using the subjunctive mood. 'If I were' is the correct form for counterfactual or hypothetical situations, even though 'I' normally takes 'am'. Options A (is), B (am), and C (are) don't use the subjunctive 'were' required for this hypothetical structure.
