Correct answer: C

A
To meet with disaster
B
To catch a dangerous person
C
To deal with a person who is more than one’s match
Correct

Explanation and memory cue

The phrase "to catch a tartar" means to encounter or deal with a person who is unexpectedly strong, formidable, or more than one's match.

Therefore, the best answer is C: To deal with a person who is more than one’s match. Option A, "To meet with disaster," is related but less precise, and option B, "To catch a dangerous person," is a literal interpretation that does not capture the idiomatic meaning.
