Solution

The correct option is B If l were rich
If I were...expresses the subjunctive mood, which refers to wishes and desires and is known as a "non- factual" mood. The reason we use were instead of was is because the sentence is in the Subjunctive mood which is used for hypothetical situations. This is a condition which is contrary to fact or reality (the fact is, I am not you).
