The correct meaning of the idiom "to add fuel to fire" is To aggravate.

The other options are incorrect. "In disorder" means to be in a state of chaos or confusion. "Confuse" means to make someone or something unclear or difficult to understand. "Pure water" is water that has not been contaminated by other substances.
