Explanation

Deepika and I had gone out shopping and she liked a dress but had no money. So I had to lend her some money.

Why 'lend' is correct:

'Lend' means to give something (such as money) to someone temporarily with the expectation that it will be returned. In this sentence, the speaker gives Deepika money so she can buy the dress; this temporary transfer matches 'lend'.

• 'Owe' is incorrect: it means to be obligated to pay someone (e.g., 'She owes me money'). The sentence 'I had to owe her some money' is not appropriate here.

• 'Borrow' is incorrect: it means to take something from someone (you borrow from someone). Saying 'I had to borrow her some money' incorrectly reverses who gives and who receives.

• 'Give' is grammatically possible ('I had to give her some money') but implies a permanent gift with no expectation of repayment. The context suggests temporary help, so 'lend' is more precise.
