D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'deep' because 'deep trouble' is the most natural and common collocation. While 'intense trouble' and 'terrible trouble' are grammatically possible, 'deep trouble' is the standard idiomatic expression. 'Dreaded trouble' is less common. The context suggests serious consequences after being caught doing something wrong.
