Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

The Partition of Bengal was made effective on 16 October 1905. It was announced by Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India, as a administrative reorganization. The partition divided Bengal into two parts: East Bengal and Assam, and West Bengal. This decision led to widespread protests and the Swadeshi Movement. The partition was eventually annulled in 1911.

हिन्दी उत्तर: बंगाल विभाजन 16 अक्टूबर, 1905 को प्रभावी हुआ था। इसे भारत के वायसराय लॉर्ड कर्जन द्वारा प्रशासनिक पुनर्गठन के रूप में घोषित किया गया था। इस विभाजन ने बंगाल को दो भागों में बांटा: पूर्वी बंगाल और असम, और पश्चिमी बंगाल। इस निर्णय ने व्यापक विरोध और स्वदेशी आंदोलन को जन्म दिया। यह विभाजन अंततः 1911 में रद्द कर दिया गया।
