A Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence describes an action completed before another past event or time reference. Past Perfect tense (had given) is used when one past action happened before another past action. "Have given" is present perfect, "gave" is simple past, "was giving" is past continuous, and "were giving" doesn't agree with singular "government".
