The reason for refusal is not what your 'view' of the incident might be, unfortunately. Whatever the official reason was that they gave you - in your case "deception", you have to put that down. To do otherwise would be concealing information / lying. Never, ever lie on an official application. If there was more than one (we can't see the letter), write them all, IF they were different.
You're obviously worried about another denial, so in this case, provide a letter with your side of the story as an explanation.
NEVER leave it out. That alone can be grounds for denial.
