Solution

The correct option is A Rani Durgavati
In 1564, Akbar sent a large army under the command of Asaf Khan against the Central Indian State of Gondwana. Its queen mother Durgavati offered a most determined resistance against the Mughal forces; but when she found that the defeat was inevitable, she preferred death to dishonor, she stabbed herself to death. After her death the Mughal forces entered the city and occupied the larger part of Gondwana.
