Explanation

The Partition of Bengal made by Lord Curzon in 1905 lasted until (b) King George V abrogated Curzon’s Act as the Royal Durbar in Delhi in 1911. Explanation: Lord Curzon’s decision to partition Bengal in 1905 was met with strong opposition and protests, as it was seen as an attempt to divide and rule by creating religious divisions. In response to the widespread protests, the partition was annulled in 1911 through the annulment of the partition plan by King George V. The official reason given was administrative efficiency, but the widespread protests and opposition played a significant role in the decision. Therefore, the correct answer is (b) King George V abrogated Curzon’s Act as the Royal Durbar in Delhi in 1911.
