Answer:
C. Lord Curson
Read Explanation:
Lord Curzon, who was the Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905, implemented the partition of Bengal on October 16, 1905.
The partition divided the Bengal Presidency into two parts: Eastern Bengal and Assam (with a Muslim majority), and Bengal (with a Hindu majority).
Key points about the Bengal Partition:
It was ostensibly done for administrative convenience as Bengal was a large province
However, it was widely viewed as an attempt to implement the British "divide and rule" policy by separating Hindu and Muslim populations
The partition sparked significant nationalist opposition and gave rise to the Swadeshi Movement
It led to widespread protests, boycotts of British goods, and strengthened the Indian freedom movement
The partition was eventually annulled in 1911 by Lord Hardinge (as mentioned in one of the similar questions on your screen)
Bengal was reunited, though Assam remained a separate province
