Hint: An idiom is a phrase whose meaning isn’t obvious from looking at the individual words.The meaning of the word give back is to return something to someone.

Complete answer:
The meaning of give back is to return something based on that Option A is restore which means bring back or give back or we can say re-establish.
-Option B is forego is an incorrect option as the term has the meaning go without something so it cannot be the meaning or phrase for give back.
-Option C that is forbear described as politely refrain from doing something so it is also an incorrect option.
-Option D is retaliate which means to make an attack in return for another attack so it is also an incorrect choice.
-Option E is Avenge which is also an incorrect option because the meaning of avenge is to take revenge.

Therefore, the correct option for the asked question is option A. Restore which means re-establish or give back.

Note: We sometimes use refund instead of give back but this is not true all the time because at different times refund could have different meanings so mostly we use refund to refer to money but we give back for many things so every time it is not write to use refund instead of give back.
