A
To see if it is lit properly
B
To sneak up behind her and push her in to cook her
C
To add fire to warm up the house
D
To pull cookies out
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Just look, I can get in myself, and she crept up and thrust her head into the oven. Then Gretel gave her a push that drove her far into it, and shut the iron door, and fastened the bolt. Oh. Then she began to howl quite horribly, but Gretel ran away, and the godless witch was miserably burnt to death.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hansel and Gretel are a brother and sister abandoned in a forest, where they fall into the hands of a witch who lives in a house made of gingerbread, cake, and candy. The cannibalistic witch intends to fatten Hansel before eventually eating him, but Gretel pushes the witch into her own oven and kills her.

Detailed explanation-3: -The oven is a representation of a womb. It offers a possibility of birth (or in this case rebirth), but also death if an already born person gets back in (refuses to grow up). It is a representation of a womb.

Detailed explanation-4: -A witch who lives in the gingerbread house enslaves Gretel and forces her to feed Hansel so that he may grow big for the witch to eat. The children trick the witch and shove her into her own oven before she can eat Hansel.
