Replace the underlined common phrases with the right option.
How long can the rebels stand against the government ?
Answer: A
Stand against means resist.
To stand against someone is to oppose or fight them: How long can the rebels resist the government?
Surrounded and resembled are in the past tense, so they do not even fit after can, and their meanings (encircled, looked like) are wrong too. Since resist fits, "None of the these" is wrong.
Related expressions are stand up to (resist bravely) and stand by (support), which is the opposite of standing against.
