The correct answer is

Pratapgarh

Pratapgarh option is correct.

The treaty of Purandar, signed in June 1665 between Shivaji Maharaj and the Mughal general Raja Jai Singh I of Amber, marks the low point of Shivaji's early career. Under its terms Shivaji had to cede a large block of Maratha forts to Aurangzeb and enter Mughal service as a mansabdar.

Of the twenty-three forts Shivaji agreed to surrender, the four principal names traditionally recalled are Purandar itself, Kondhana (later renamed Sinhagad), Lohgarh and other Sahyadri strongholds; twelve forts, headed by Rajgad and Pratapgarh, were retained by Shivaji for his own household and revenue. Pratapgarh, the fort near Mahabaleshwar where Shivaji had killed Afzal Khan in 1659, was therefore NOT surrendered under the treaty and stayed with him.

Kondhana, Purandar and Lohgarh were all part of the twenty-three forts ceded to the Mughals, so only Pratapgarh answers the negative question correctly.
