Answer:
im not a 100% sure but I think its has given but Im not sure thats just the answer I would put
The correct verb form to fill the given blank in this sentence would be:
1. had given
Reported speech, as the name suggests, is employed to communicate someone else's words in your own to a third person.
In the given example, the correct verb form would be "had given" because the initial sentence is in past indefinite and thus, the latter action must be in past perfect.
Since past perfect employs 'had + past participle verb form,' 'had given' is the correct verb form.
The other options are incorrect as they either indicate present tense which in reported speech is possible for universal truths only, or exemplify passive voice which can't be possible as the doer is present.
Thus, option 1 is the correct answer.
