Solution

The correct option is A Gwalior
The battle began at Jhansi early in June 1857. Sir Hugh Rose laid siege to the fortress of Jhansi in March 1858. Rani Laxmi Bai resisted but Jhansi was captured by the British when traitors opened the gates of the fortress for them. The Rani escaped from the fortress on the night of April 4, 1858, to join Tantia Tope at Kalpi.
Rani died fighting the British on June 17, 1858, at Gwalior. Tantia Tope was betrayed by the Gwalior Chief, Man Singh and was hanged on April 18, 1859.
