Correct answer: A. 1905
- A. 1905
- B. 1906
- C. 1911
- D. 1916
Explanation
Lord Curzon partitioned Bengal in 1905 on administrative grounds, creating a Muslim-majority province of Eastern Bengal and Assam. Muslims welcomed it while the Congress agitated against it, and the partition was annulled in 1911 — a reversal that deepened Muslim distrust of the British and of Congress politics.
