Correct Answer: If I was the President of India,


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

In conditional sentences expressing unreal or hypothetical situations, the correct form is often "were" instead of "was" when using the subjunctive mood. So, the correct construction is "If I were the President of India."

This construction maintains proper grammar and conveys the hypothetical nature of the statement.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "If I were the President of India, I would work to ensure communal harmony."
