Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Stand by someone is an idiomatic phrasal verb meaning to support a person, especially in difficult times. Stand to, stand for, stand over and stand upon carry different meanings (stand for means represent, stand over means supervise). The context here is moral support during difficulties, so By (E) is the only correct preposition.
