Solution

The correct option is B should
Option B: The only auxiliary verb that can follow 'lest' is 'should'. They're a fixed pair and 'should' cannot be replaced by another verb. The expression 'lest you should...' means 'or else you will'.
Hence the correct option is B: should.
Options A, C and D: 'May', 'might' and 'would' are auxiliary verbs that do not follow the conjunction 'lest'.
Hence options A, C and D are wrong.
