Hi Zulfiya,

Burning your boats means you cannot reverse the current situation.
The other three verbs - to repeat/to retake and to restyle are not used with the noun 'situation'.

To restyle means you design something again, you make changes to an object. For example you can restyle furniture or your haircut.
