Solution

The correct option is C purpose
The correct answer is Option C -purpose.
"Lest" is a subordinating conjunction of purpose that is used to indicate why something should be done.
For example: Take an umbrella lest it should rain. (the purpose of taking an umbrella is to be protected in case it rains.)
Options A, B and D are wrong because as we have already established, "lest" is a conjunction of purpose.
