C Correct answer
Explanation

"Give in" means to yield, surrender, or cease resisting after pressure or opposition. When someone "gives in," they stop opposing something and agree to demands or circumstances. The other options don't fit: "come round" means to change one's opinion or regain consciousness, "hang on" means to wait or persist, and "grow out of" means to become too large for something or lose a childhood habit.
