Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) completely forgot — just don’t know

Explanation

The natural adverb placement is “completely forgot”. To express simply not knowing, the phrase is “just don’t know”; “don’t just know” changes the scope of just. Thus C supplies both idiomatic expressions.
