B Correct answer
Explanation

Jaisalmer Fort is the correct answer as it is one of the largest forts in the world, situated in Rajasthan on Trikuta Hill amidst the Thar Desert. Satyajit Ray's famous detective novel 'Sonar Kella' (The Golden Fortress) and its film adaptation were based on this fort, which appears golden due to its yellow sandstone construction. Amber Fort is near Jaipur but is not as large or the setting for Ray's story.
