Correct Answer: My father give up
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The error is in the verb give. When expressing an action that occurred in the past, the past-tense form of the verb should be used. The correct past tense form of give is gave.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "My father gave up smoking when I was twelve years old."
