Forklaring
"Gave in" is a phrasal verb that means to yield or surrender after initial resistance or reluctance. The context suggests that she eventually yielded or accepted his overtures (advances or proposals) after some hesitation or delay. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is option D, "gave in."
