The correct answer is C. in

The sentence "The principal advised that we pursue this case cautiously, otherwise we are bound to be taken in by Ada's lies" suggests that the principal is warning against being deceived or tricked by Ada's lies.

The phrasal verb "taken in" means to be deceived or fooled by someone or something.
