Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Lets break down the events and arrange them in chronological order based on the dates: Step 1: Partition of Bengal (1905)
The Partition of Bengal was implemented in 1905 by the British to divide the province into East Bengal (which had a Muslim majority) and West Bengal (which had a Hindu majority). This event is the earliest in the list. Step 2: Formation of the Muslim League (1906)
The Muslim League was formed in 1906 in Dhaka with the goal of representing the political rights of Muslims in India. This followed the Partition of Bengal and was influenced by the political climate created by it. Step 3: Congress Split (1907)
The Congress Split occurred in 1907 at the Surat session of the Indian National Congress. The Congress split into two factions: the Moderates and the Extremists, due to differences in the approach to dealing with the British colonial government. Step 4: Transfer of the Capital from Calcutta to Delhi (1911)
The Transfer of the capital of the Central Government from Calcutta to Delhi occurred in 1911, when the British decided to shift the capital to Delhi, which was considered more central and more secure from possible uprisings in the eastern parts of India. Thus, the correct chronological order of the events is:
1. Partition of Bengal (1905)
2. Formation of Muslim League (1906)
3. Congress Split (1907)
4. Transfer of the capital from Calcutta to Delhi (1911)
Therefore, the correct sequence is: I, IV, III, II.
