B Correct answer
Explanation

The verb 'see' can be followed by object + present participle (-ing) to describe an action in progress. 'I saw her standing' means she was in the act of standing by the door when I saw her. The infinitive 'to stand' would imply purpose, and 'stands' doesn't fit grammatically.
