Solution

The correct option is A Bengal was divided on 15 October 1905.
Bengal was divided on 16 October 1905. The day was observed as "National Mourning Day" in Bengal. The Swadeshi Movement launched on this day encouraged Indians to adopt indigenous products, boycott foreign goods, and adopt national education. Sugar, shoes, cigarettes, and tobacco, which were imported from England, rapidly reduced. This badly affected the English industries.
