A
I used to be an excellent athlete in my school days.
💡 Explanation:
The correct answer is D because 'used to be' correctly describes a past habit or state (being an excellent athlete in school days) that is no longer true. Options A and B incorrectly use 'use to' which is grammatically invalid; it should be 'used to'. Option C incorrectly uses 'myself' as a subject pronoun; 'myself' is a reflexive pronoun and cannot be the subject of a sentence.
