C Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'came up against' (option C). This phrasal verb means to encounter opposition, difficulty, or resistance. The plans faced criticism - they 'came up against' it. 'Ran up to' means to approach or reach a total amount, 'faced up with' is grammatically incorrect (should be 'faced up to' for confronting), and 'was opposed to' would need singular agreement with 'plans'.
