It is generally accepted that the present perfect can't be used with temporal qualifiers (time adverbials) which indicate the past, such as this morning, even if that's recent. 3 and 4 are out, based on this thinking.

I gave the application

If it is still morning, you can use the perfect tense. No. 3 is correct if it is, say, 7AM and you gave the application form to the security guard a few minutes previously. If you talked about your application form in the afternoon, you would have to use the past tense (No. 1).
