Discussion
When the discussion became emotional, Priya tried to add fuel to the fire.
Answer: B
Add fuel to the fire means to increase the tension.
Adding fuel makes a fire burn more fiercely, so the idiom means to make an already bad or heated situation worse, usually by saying or doing something provocative. In an emotional discussion, Priya made matters more heated.
Calm the situation and solve the problem are the opposite effect (closer to pour oil on troubled waters), and avoid the argument means staying out of it, not inflaming it.
