Answer:

C. the lawyer was deceptively honest with his clients.

Step-by-step explanation:

That is the correct answer because and oxymoron is when opposite meanings of words are put together. For example in this sentence the lawyer is being deceptive but honest, however; these two words have the opposite meaning of each other.
