A Correct answer
Explanation

Staunch means loyal, committed, and steadfast in support. A staunch defender is someone who reliably and faithfully supports a cause. Stave means to ward off or break, warren is a network of tunnels (rabbit habitat), and composite means made of parts - all unrelated to loyalty.
