Solution

The correct option is D the scratch
The correct option is the one with the error.
Option D: 'From scratch' is a set phrase that means 'from the very beginning'. So, 'the' sounds out of place in this phrase 'from the scratch'. Hence 'the' is erroneous and must be omitted: Since I have forgotten all the equations, I will have to start from scratch.
Hence we choose option D.
Options A, B and C:
The other parts do not have any errors and they are complete in form and meaning. Hence these options are wrong.
