Solution

The correct option is A Go now, before I change my mind.
The imperative mood is a verb form which makes a command or a request.
An imperative sentence usually does not have a subject, as the order is directed towards the listener, implied by 'you'.
Option A: 'Go' expresses a command that instructs the listener to go right away 'now'. Hence this sentence is in imperative mood and option A is correct.
Option B: This sentence expresses a wish, the person wishes for peace.
Option C: This sentence too expresses a wish: the person wishes for Lord to have mercy upon the other 'you'.
Option D: 'If I were you...' expresses a conditional or a hypothetical situation. It does not express a command or a request.
Hence, these options are not in the imperative mood and options B, C and D are wrong.
