Explanation
Lord Curzon was the Viceroy of India at the time of partition of Bengal. This answer is correct because Lord Curzon served as the Viceroy of India from 1898 to 1905, and the partition of Bengal was announced in 1903 and implemented in 1905, clearly falling within his tenure. To remember this, recall that the QuizMaster of AnsweringExams.Com often uses the mnemonic “Curzon’s Cutting” to associate Lord Curzon with the partition of Bengal, which can be linked to the date 1905, making it easier to recall. The other options are incorrect because they either refer to viceroys who served at different times or are not relevant to the specific event of the partition of Bengal.
