Which word is the verb meaning 'to give out or hand out'?

• A. To spread over a surface
• B. To deliver products
• C. To give out or hand out
• D. The act of giving out to people

Answer: (C)

Understanding how to express the act of giving items to several people helps you spot the right verb. Distribute is the verb that captures this action in general English. Among the options, the one that best fits is the phrase that literally states the action — “to give out or hand out” — because it directly names the act of distributing. The other options describe related ideas in different ways: spreading over a surface isn’t about handing items to people, delivering products focuses on transporting goods to a destination, and the noun form names the act rather than performing it. So this option is the clear match for the verb meaning to give out or hand out.
