This choice is incorrect. "To betray a secret" does not share a similar meaning with the expression "to let someone down".
"I hope you won't let me down" is a common idiom in English, which means "I hope you will not disappoint me". It is often used in situations where one person has been asked to do something (a favor, a service) for someone else.
Bruno is not concerned with how Susie is feeling at this moment. In fact, he hopes that "she" will not "upset" him.

Luna is expressing that she has disappointed Bruno.
she has disappointed Bruno: This is the best choice here. Luna says: "I'm sorry I've let you down, sir". To "let someone down" means to "disappoint" them or to have "failed" them in some way.
she has lied to Bruno: This is not the meaning of the phrase: "I've let you down". To "lie" is to intentionally deceive someone, or to tell them something which is not true.
she has contradicted Bruno: This is not the meaning of the phrase: "I've let you down". Even if Luna has ignored Bruno's wishes, or contradicted him, this is not what she is apologizing for when she says "I've let you down".
she didn't warn Bruno in advance: This is not the meaning of the phrase: "I've let you down". To warn (someone of danger) is to alert them of danger.
