A trick isn't some sort of physical object you can look for, so not A.

When you are the victim of a trick (a 'practical joke' or some other act of deception), we say that you have fallen for it, so it's C - fallen.

(Your first answer A is fine.)

Sorry CJ, I can't get you properly. What do you think is the answer for the second one?

I think he's fallen for the same trick  (i.e., fallen goes with trick).
