In my opinion,

To 'refuse' is the opposite of to 'accept' - if you refuse to do something you choose not to do it, or say firmly that you will not do it. To deny means to answer in the negative or to say that a statement is not true. Confess is related to to admit that you have done something wrong, or to admit unwillingly that something is true. Therefore option A Deny is the right answer.

Deny means doing late to express the truth.

Refuse means to disagree to tell the truth.

I always felt refusal and denial as same.

Can you give more examples to help me understand the difference better?
