Answer:

d. 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 <em>Where? When? How? </em>or<em> Why?</em> and modifies a verb.

In the last sentence, we have an adverb phrase:

around forts

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