B
Explanation
The Revolt of 1857 affected Jhansi, Jagdishpur (Bihar) and Lucknow among other centres. The Rani of Jhansi was a key leader who died in battle during the uprising, showing Jhansi’s active participation [1]. Contemporary lists of principal centres and leaders explicitly include Delhi, Kanpur, Lucknow, Bareilly, Bihar and Jhansi, but do not mention Chittor/Chittorgarh as a theatre of rebellion, indicating it was not a locus of the 1857 events [2]. Moreover, the Bihar uprising was led by Kunwar Singh of Jagdishpur, confirming Jagdishpur’s direct involvement in the revolt [3]. Therefore Chittor was not affected in the context of the 1857 uprising.
