Solution

The correct option is B ace up his sleeve
The answer must be a correct idiomatic expression of the English language.
Option C is correct. 'Ace up his sleeve' means 'A surprise or secret advantage'. Thus, we can say 'he had a secret advantage for times like this'.
Options A, B and D are not correct idiomatic expressions.
