Correct answer: 1, 2, 3, 4

Explanation: The correct answer is A. 1, 2, 3, 4. Partition of Bengal - 1905: Implemented by Lord Curzon on 16 October 1905, this event aimed to divide Bengal into East and West, sparking massive protests and giving rise to the Swadeshi Movement. Varanasi Session of the Indian National Congress - 1905: Held in December 1905, this session was presided over by Gopal Krishna Gokhale. It reflected growing nationalist opposition to the Partition of Bengal. Calcutta Session of the Indian National Congress - 1906: Took place in December 1906, under the leadership of Dadabhai Naoroji. This session is historically significant as the Congress officially adopted Swaraj as its goal. Foundation of Muslim League - 1906: The All-India Muslim League was founded on 30 December 1906 in Dhaka, partly as a response to the rising tide of Hindu-Muslim political differences after the partition.
