Hint: A phrasal verb is a verb connected with an adverb or a preposition, or sometimes both, to give a new meaning. The phrasal verb gives out means to stop working or to come to an end.

Complete answer:
 To give out something means to completely end of doing something. For eg: After a time period of one month of hardship, the work was finally completed and they finally gave out on it.
We will look at each option carefully and try to find out the meaning of each option-
Option 'a' announce means to make something known publicly and officially. For eg. The victory of the Indian team was announced publicly.
Option 'b' make-over means - the process of improving the appearance of a person, place, etc. to make it look more attractive. For eg. The staff did a complete makeover of the office before the new principal’s arrival.
Option 'c' yield means to produce or provide crops, profits, or results. For eg. The officer confirmed the farmer,” How much wheat does each field yield”?
Option 'd' emit means to send out something, for example, a smell, a sound, smoke, heat, or light. For eg. The firewood emitted a large amount of heat which made everyone feel warm.
Option 'e' return means to come or go back to a place. For eg. The man returned from his long journey after a long time.
After analyzing each option carefully, we came to a point that option “ a” is the right answer. So “give out“ means to “announce”.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. Don't confuse between 'yield' and 'makeover'. To yield is to produce, whereas to makeover is to transform.
