Explanation:

Fragment II is incorrect since we are using ‘mine’ to imply that my friends and ‘that of’ is redundant in this context and should not be used. It should be ‘mine’ only.

Fragment III is again incorrect since stood along is not the correct usage in the given context where it is implied that his friends were with him during the difficult times. Stood by implies that his friends helped him during the difficult times and it should have been used in the given context.

All the other fragments are correct in all aspects.

The correct sentence would have been: His friends are usually not as helpful and cooperative as mine but I was surprised to see that all his friends stood by him during difficult times.

This makes option D the right choice among the given options.
