Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1905.
The Partition of Bengal took place on October 16, 1905, during the tenure of Lord Curzon, the then Viceroy of India. The province was divided into Eastern Bengal and Assam and Western Bengal, ostensibly for administrative convenience. However, the move was widely seen as an attempt to weaken the growing unity among Indians by dividing Hindus and Muslims. The partition sparked massive protests and led to the Swadeshi Movement, eventually resulting in its annulment in 1911.
