To be economical with the truth means not telling the whole truth, especially in order to present a false image of a situation; untruthful; lying. The statement is idiomatic or euphemistic.

The test here is on collocations, words that often occur together. The only option that can co-occur with 'with' is 'economical'. To be economical with the truth is an idiom which means to not say the total truth.
