Answer
Exam answer
(c) Lord Curzon.
Explanation
Lord Curzon, as Viceroy, announced the Partition of Bengal in 1905. He claimed it was for administrative convenience, but the Nationalists saw the real motive — to divide Hindus from Muslims and weaken the nationalist movement centred in Bengal. It was annulled in 1911. Fix the four Viceroys by their signature act: Canning (the 1857 Revolt and the first Viceroy), Dalhousie (Doctrine of Lapse), Ripon (the Ilbert Bill), Curzon (Partition of Bengal).
In words
Lord Curzon.
