Explanation:

Correct Option: B

A stand-off is a situation in which neither of two opposing groups or forces will make a move until the other one does something, so nothing can happen until one of them gives way.

Ex. There is no sign of an end to the stand-off between Mohawk Indians and the Quebec provincial police.

Further, the definite article 'the' must be used before the organs of the government.

Clearly, the phrase 'in a stand-off against the judiciary' replaces the bold part most appropriately.

Option B is hence the correct answer.
