Solution
The correct option is A 1905
Bengal was partitioned on October 16, 1905, by Viceroy Lord Curzon. The British cited the administrative reasons for the partition of Bengal. The plan was to carve out modern-day Bangladesh and Assam as East Bengal and make Dhaka as the new capital. The other part would be West Bengal including the regions of present-day West Bengal, Bihar and Odisha.
