B. be late
I haven't seen "lest" being used in a long time, it's definitely uncommon today.

@Rehana18 Thanks. I haven't seen it and I don't know how to use it, but I think my English in very well :) It is our teacher who gave us test 1995/1996 years to do at home😄. Could you please tell me how to use lest in sentence?

Even as a native, it's not too easy to use as it's in the subjunctive mood.
Here are some examples;
"I was afraid to give him my details lest he be a stalker"
"She locked all the windows lest someone should break in"
"I was afraid of staying with him lest he became violent"
