Solution

The correct option is D against
In the given sentence we use preposition of manner to complete the meaning of the sentence. Preposition of manner is used to convey about the way something happens or how something is done. From the given options , we can use logic and basic grammar to eliminate the options that do not fit into the sentence correctly. Through out the passage we can see the conflict between Indians and British. Through option A,C,D the meaning of the conflict cannot be conveyed. So they are inappropriate. Through option B ' against' the essence of conflict can be depicted.
Hence the correct answer is B) against

The completed sentence thus becomes: Several Indian leaders and rulers fought against the British.
