Answer:

The correct sentence is: "Wouldn't have survived 2020, if it weren't for you."

Explanation:

The word "were" is the past subjunctive form of the verb "to be" and it is used to indicate a hypothetical or counterfactual condition. In this context, the speaker is saying that they would not have survived 2020 without the help of the person they are speaking to. The word "were" is used after the contraction "if it weren't" to indicate that the speaker is assuming a hypothetical situation.

On the other hand, "wasn't" is the contraction of "was not" in the past tense and it is used to indicate a past negative situation.

It's important to note that past subjunctive is used in cases where the speaker is talking about an unreal or hypothetical situation, it is also used in sentences that express a hypothetical or contrary-to-fact condition. The contraction "if it weren't" is more common than "if it wasn't" in this context, it is considered more grammatically correct and more common in spoken and written English.
