The correct options are
A The Divide and Rule Policy was adopted.
B Partition of Bengal was done to curb the growing nationalism in Bengal .
C National Movement was branded as the movement for a Hindu Rashtra.

After the Great Revolt of 1857, the British took many steps to break the unity among Hindus and Muslims in India. The Divide and Rule Policy was adopted by the British to divide people into groups based on their religion. The Partition of Bengal was done to curb the growing nationalism in Bengal and create a divide between the Hindus and the Muslims. The English actively tried to brand the National Movement as the movement for a Hindu Rashtra. Through these steps, they turned the Hindus and Muslims against each other.
