A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'gives' because the subject is 'earth's gravity' (singular), so we need a singular verb in the present simple tense. 'Gives' is the third person singular form. 'Give' would be for plural subjects or first/second person. 'Giving' would create a continuous tense which doesn't fit the general fact being stated. 'Given' is a past participle and grammatically incorrect here.
