Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: All India Muslim League

Explanation: The correct answer is C. All India Muslim League. The partition of Bengal in 1905 was supported by the All-India Muslim League, which was formed shortly after in 1906. The British colonial government divided Bengal on the pretext of administrative convenience, but the real aim was to weaken the growing unity among Hindus and Muslims by creating religious divisions.
