Solution

The correct option is B Curzon
The British decided to use the policy of Divide and Rule to create a rift between the Hindu-Muslim community. The then Viceroy Lord Curzon contributed to it. Bengal was a very large province. To carry out the work of this province was difficult from an administrative point of view. By putting up this reason, in 1905, he declared the partition of Bengal province.
