The word that means "able to be taken under, or not resistant" is "susceptible".

Explanation:

Susceptible is an adjective that refers to someone who is likely to be harmed or influenced by something, that is, who is liable to be taken under, dominated without much resistance. In letter C, the sentence "Her allergies made her susceptible to asthma attacks" speaks of a person who is likely to have asthma attacks, who is liable to being affected by that specific problem, due to allergies. In other words, due to allergies, this person is able to be taken under by a health condition.

Another example with "susceptible" would be:

- Their trust in their king made them susceptible to his lies.

In this case, for trusting their king, people were liable to being lied to and harmed by it.
