Answer:

B. Around forts; modifies were built

Explanation:

An adverb phrase is a kind of prepositional phrase that functions as an adverb. Therefore, it answers the questions Where? When? How? or Why? and modifies a verb.

In the second sentence, we have an adverbial phrase:

around forts

It modifies the verb 'were built'. It is answering the question "Where?"
