In case no improvement is needed, choose the option 'No improvement'. The peasants who stood upon to such robbery were traumatized and repressed. Correct Answer stood up to

The given phrase "stood upon to", "stood by to", and "stood for to" are all grammatically incorrect. Moreover, for the correct meaning to be conveyed, the phrase should convey 'rising firm against'.
The only alternative that gives the intended meaning is 'stood up to', which means "to confront someone or something in defiant opposition".
Therefore the correct answer is option 2.
