Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The question asks to match the events listed in List I with their corresponding years mentioned in List II. Let's analyze each option step-by-step:

1. Khilafat Movement: This movement was launched in 1919 but gained significant momentum in 1920. Thus, the correct year is \(1920\), which corresponds to III. 
2. Partition of Bengal by Lord Curzon: This event took place in \(1905\). It aimed to divide the Bengal province into two parts to create administrative efficiency and to weaken the nationalist movement by creating Hindu and Muslim majority regions. So, it matches with IV.
3. Arrival of Cripps Mission to India: The Cripps Mission was sent by the British government to secure Indian support during World War II in \(1942\). Therefore, this event corresponds to II.
4. Gandhi-Irwin Pact: This was signed in \(1931\) between Mahatma Gandhi and Lord Irwin. It marked the end of a period of civil disobedience against British rule. Hence, it aligns with I.

Based on the analysis, the correct option is:

A	Khilafat Movement	III	1920
B	Partition of Bengal by Lord Curzon	IV	1905
C	Arrival of Cripps Mission to India	II	1942
D	Gandhi-Irwin Pact	I	1931

Hence, the most appropriate answer is: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
