Explanation
The correct pair must follow the clue armed resistance from civilian; the word mercenaries is an attractive trap, but a mercenary is someone who fights for money (usually for a foreign country), not someone who is “inspired by desperate conditions to fight in their own streets.”
Hence fighters, partisans are best fit!
