Explanation

The correct answer is B because Chittor, located in the Mewar region of Rajasthan, remained largely unaffected by the uprising. While several parts of Northern and Central India were centers of the rebellion, the Rajput states, including Chittor, generally stayed neutral or supported the British during the crisis. In contrast, the other three options were major hotspots of the revolt. Jhansi was led by Rani Lakshmibai, Jagdishpur in Bihar was the stronghold of Kunwar Singh, and Lucknow was a key center under the leadership of Begum Hazrat Mahal. All three locations witnessed intense fighting against British forces, whereas Chittor did not participate in the armed struggle of 1857.
