Explanation

"Lest" is a conjunction meaning "in order that...not" or "for fear that". It's followed by "should" + bare infinitive in the subordinate clause. The "lest you should fail" structure means "so that you don't fail". Options A, C, and D don't follow the grammatical pattern required by "lest".
