A
Potwar
B
Kirthar
C
Rawar

Muhammad bin Qasim besieged the fort, had miners demolish its walls, and after the fort was taken, Rani Bai surrendered and committed jauhar (self-immolation) along with other women to avoid capture. The fort of Potwar is not historically cited as the place where Rani Bai fled; rather, Rawar is the correct fort associated with this event.
