Correct Answer: Stands as


Solution : The correct choice to fill in the blank is the third option.

The phrasal verb stands as is used to indicate that the statue serves the purpose of representing a global symbol of freedom and is the right option, which makes the sentence grammatically accurate and conveys the intended meaning of the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Stands to means to suggest that a potential outcome is probable.

Stands for means to be a symbol for.

Stands against means to oppose someone or something.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The statue stands as a global symbol of freedom."
