- A.
  
  Is
- B.
  
  Am
- C.
  
  Was
- D.
  
  Were
Correct Answer
C. Was

Explanation
The correct answer is "was" because the subject "I" is singular and the verb should agree with it. "Was" is the past tense form of the verb "to be" and is used to describe a singular subject in the past. Therefore, in this sentence, "was" is the correct choice to indicate that the person was born in 1992.
