Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. lest

Explanation

'Lest' means 'for fear that / in case' and is always followed by 'should'. The sentence warns against forgetting, so 'Note it down lest you should forget it' is the only grammatical fit; 'that', 'because of' and 'till' do not take 'should' in this negative-purpose sense.'Lest' का अर्थ है 'कहीं ऐसा न हो कि' और इसके बाद सदैव 'should' आता है। वाक्य भूल जाने की आशंका बता रहा है, अतः 'Note it down lest you should forget it' ही व्याकरण की दृष्टि से सही है; 'that', 'because of' तथा 'till' इस निषेधात्मक उद्देश्य के अर्थ में 'should' के साथ नहीं आते।
