Correct Answer: that giving off
Solution : The correct choice is the first option .
Give off is a phrasal verb, which means to produce something such as heat or light. The singular form of the phrasal verb "gives off" should replace the phrase "giving off" to make the sentence grammatically accurate and convey the intended meaning that the thin wire that emits light is known as the filament.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The thin wire that gives off light is called the filament."
