Explanation
Option (C) uses the correct verb form "were" to express a hypothetical situation. In this context, the speaker is not actually mad, but is speaking in a manner that suggests madness. Using "were" instead of "is" reflects the subjunctive mood, which is appropriate for expressing hypothetical or unreal situations.
