Correct Answer: stood out


Solution : The first option is the correct choice.

Stood out means easily noticeable. Here, the person is quite tall, which makes him easily noticeable from the rest of the crowd. This is the correct option in the context of the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Stood by means to support.
  • Stood off means to stay away.
  • Stood up means to rise to a standing position.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: He stood out from the crowd because of his height.
