Correct Answer: gave me


Solution : The correct option to substitute the underlined segment is the fourth option.

The original sentence is in the past perfect tense ("had given"), but for clarity and simplicity, it should be expressed in the simple past tense as the time reference is given.

Therefore, the correct sentence is, "He gave me that book in 1999."
