Hi, as mr.dgdln said the correct answer is give out.


�the food supplies gave out before they reached the summit of a mountain.


the following has been taken by the british council �s official website

give out
if a supply of something gives out, it finishes and there is none left

The food supplies will give out by the end of the week.
Eventually my patience gave out and I shouted at her.
