The idiom "to keep one's powder dry" means:

1.
to remain calm under pressure
2.
to avoid taking unnecessary risks
3.
to stay prepared for action
4.
to conserve one's resources

Correct Answer: to stay prepared for action

From the practice of keeping gunpowder dry for battle, it means staying ready to act. Option (d) captures only conservation and misses the readiness sense.
