A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires the simple past tense of 'give' to describe a completed action, which is 'gave'. Option B 'gives' is present tense, not appropriate for a completed talk. Option C 'given' is a past participle that needs a helper verb. Option D 'giving' is a present participle that doesn't work as the main verb here without an auxiliary like 'was' or 'is'.
