ANSWER
Phrasal verbs are expressions formed with a verb and a preposition, adverb or another element. The meaning formed is different from that of the individual words.
Option C: 'Give up' is a phrasal verb that means 'cease making an effort', or 'stop trying'.
So, 'give up' can replace the word 'stop', as it means the same. Hence, option C is correct.
Option A: 'Give away' means 'to give information that should be kept secret'.
Option B: 'Give in' means 'to admit defeat', 'to finally agree to what someone wants'.
Option D: 'Give out' means 'to be completely used up'.
These phrases do not mean the same as 'stop'. Hence, options A, B and D are wrong.
