Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Lord Curzon was the British Viceroy of India who partitioned Bengal in 1905. The partition was a political and administrative decision, dividing Bengal into two parts: East Bengal and West Bengal. Lord Minto was the Governor-General of India at the time, but Curzon was the key figure behind the partition, which led to significant political unrest and social division in India.
