'As the enemy was closing in, we decided to stay away.'
The phrase 'close in' means :-
Answer: C
'Close in' means Come nearer.
To close in (on someone) is to come nearer and surround or approach, usually in a threatening way: 'As the enemy was closing in, we decided to stay away' means the enemy was moving closer. It is used also of darkness or weather ('night was closing in').
'Go away' is the opposite movement. 'Shoot out' and 'win' describe a gun battle and its result, not the approach the phrasal verb expresses.
