To catch a tartar
Answer: B
To catch a tartar means to deal with a person who is more than one's match: to take on someone who turns out to be far stronger or more formidable than expected.
The image is of a soldier who seizes a Tartar warrior only to find he cannot overpower his captive. For example, The bully thought the new boy would be easy prey, but he caught a tartar.
Option D differs from the key only in printing watch for match, which makes it meaningless. Trapping a criminal with difficulty and meeting with disaster are not what the idiom describes.
