Answer: CONFLAGRATE

Each image in the left column clues a word that contains the string CENT. In each case, you can replace the “CENT” with one of the items pictured in the center column, to produce one of the images in the right column. Carrying the indices over and applying them to the words in the right column, in order, spells THINK HARD, which clues CONCENTRATE. Pairing CONCENTRATE with the remaining unused item in the center column, a FLAG, produces the answer CONFLAGRATE.
