Fill in the blank with the correct word from the options given below:-

She is standing ______ her husband in this crisis.

by

The correct answer is Option (4) → by

The phrasal verb "stand by" means to remain loyal to or support someone, especially in a difficult or critical situation. This meaning perfectly fits the context of supporting a husband during a "crisis."

• Stand with: Also implies support, but stand by specifically suggests loyalty and support through difficulty.

• Stand for: Means to represent or tolerate.

• Stand in: Means to substitute for someone.
