Hint: The‌ ‌province‌ ‌of‌ ‌Bengal‌ ‌comprises‌ ‌proper‌ ‌Bengal,‌ ‌Bihar,‌ ‌Odisha,‌ ‌Chota‌ ‌Nagpur‌ ‌and‌ ‌Bengali‌ ‌speaking‌ ‌districts‌ ‌of‌ ‌Assam.‌ ‌The‌ ‌size‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌province‌ ‌was‌ ‌too‌ ‌large‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌properly‌ ‌administered‌ ‌by‌ ‌a‌ ‌single‌ ‌provincial‌ ‌government.‌ ‌ ‌

Complete answer:
The‌ ‌most‌ ‌unrest‌ ‌in‌ ‌India‌ ‌was‌ ‌caused‌ ‌by‌ ‌Lord‌ ‌curson,‌ ‌the‌ ‌then‌ ‌governor‌ ‌General‌ ‌of‌ ‌India.‌ ‌His‌ ‌policy‌ ‌and‌ ‌deeds‌ ‌were‌ ‌considered‌ ‌mischief.‌ ‌He‌ ‌announced‌ ‌partition‌ ‌of‌ ‌Bengal‌ ‌in‌ ‌1903‌ ‌and‌ ‌carried‌ ‌out‌ ‌in‌ ‌1905.‌ ‌Evil‌ ‌motive‌ ‌of‌ ‌partition‌ ‌was‌ ‌hidden‌ ‌by‌ ‌argument‌ ‌that‌ ‌it‌ ‌would‌ ‌improve‌ ‌administration‌ ‌of‌ ‌two‌ ‌provinces.‌ ‌The‌ ‌evil‌ ‌motives‌ ‌included‌ ‌they‌ ‌wanted‌ ‌to‌ ‌strike‌ ‌the‌ ‌root‌ ‌of‌ ‌Bengali‌ ‌nationalism‌ ‌one‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌major‌ ‌objectives‌ ‌was‌ ‌to‌ ‌split‌ ‌up‌ ‌and‌ ‌weaken‌ ‌their‌ ‌opponent.‌ ‌It‌ ‌was‌ ‌done‌ ‌to‌ ‌create‌ ‌a‌ ‌wedge‌ ‌between‌ ‌Hindu‌ ‌and‌ ‌Muslims.‌ ‌This‌ ‌also‌ ‌demonstrated‌ ‌the‌ ‌strength‌ ‌of‌ ‌British‌ ‌raj.‌ ‌Bengali‌ ‌felt‌ ‌that‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌insulated,‌ ‌humiliated‌ ‌and‌ ‌tricked.‌ ‌All‌ ‌people‌ ‌were‌ ‌ready‌ ‌to‌ ‌sacrifice‌ ‌and‌ ‌fearlessly‌ ‌face‌ ‌death.‌ ‌slogans‌ ‌were‌ ‌displayed‌ ‌by‌ ‌a‌ ‌group‌ ‌of‌ ‌students.‌ ‌October‌ ‌16th‌ ‌was‌ ‌said‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌the‌ ‌day‌ ‌of‌ ‌mourning‌ ‌throughout‌ ‌Bengal.‌ ‌They‌ ‌believe‌ ‌that‌ ‌no‌ ‌government‌ ‌can‌ ‌destroy‌ ‌the‌ ‌unity‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌people‌ ‌of‌ ‌Bengal.‌ ‌people‌ ‌took‌ ‌the‌ ‌vow‌ ‌of‌ ‌Swadeshi‌ ‌and‌ ‌boycott.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: According‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌government‌ ‌the‌ ‌size‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌province‌ ‌was‌ ‌too‌ ‌large‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌properly‌ ‌administered‌ ‌by‌ ‌a‌ ‌single‌ ‌provincial‌ ‌government,‌ ‌therefore‌ ‌the‌ ‌idea‌ ‌of‌ ‌reducing‌ ‌the‌ ‌size‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌province‌ ‌was‌ ‌proposed‌ ‌from‌ ‌time‌ ‌to‌ ‌time.‌ ‌ ‌
