Solution

The correct option is B Partition of Bengal
Swadeshi Movement was started in 1905 to oppose the British decision of partitioning of Bengal. It involved boycotting British products and the revival of domestic products and production processes. The objective was to exert sufficient pressure on the Government to prevent the unjust partition of Bengal from being implemented. But still the government went on with the decision and announced the partition in July 1905.
