"Gave up" 是放棄

e.g. He gave up on the competition as he thought there was no way he could win.

"Gave off" is like emitting

e.g. The box gave off a fishy smell

"Gave over" means to hand over or entrust

e.g. I finally gave myself over to the grief.

"Give in" (or gave in) is to admit defeat or to yield so in this case, the bridge admitted defeat to the weight of the truck.

To be really honest, people usually say "The bridge caved in under the weight of the heavy truck"

"Give in" and "give up" may be pretty similar in meaning but I just never heard anyone say "The bridge gave up under the weight of etc.". To me, "give up" is a mental defeat.

Anyway, that's my opinion. I had a discussion with my boyfriend just then and his opinion is that A and C could both be used but my argument is, I've NEVER heard anyone used "A".
