oversupply: This is the best choice. The idiom "to flood the market" means to oversupply the market (with a product). Consequently, the demand (and cost) of the products decrease as the supply increases. Susie is explaining that Delavigne's competition could "flood" or "oversupply" the market with imitation perfumes if they discover Delavigne's secret formulas.
ruin: This is not a good choice. To "ruin" means to "destroy" or "make unusable". (Example: The cake I made was "ruined" after the cat jumped on it.) "Ruin" does not share a similar meaning with the idiom "to flood the market".
divide: This is not a good choice. To "divide" means to "split into equal parts". (Example: The thieves "divided" the gold among them evenly.) "Divide" does not share a similar meaning with the idiom "to flood the market".
stabilize: This is not a good choice. To "stabilize" means "to balance" or "bring to a stable point". "To stabilize" does not share a similar meaning with the idiom "to flood the market".
