C Correct answer
Explanation

The Partition of Bengal (Banga-bhanga) by Lord Curzon was announced in July 1905 and implemented in October 1905. Rabindranath Tagore introduced Raksha Bandhan as a symbol of Hindu-Muslim unity in direct response to this partition, using the festival to tie people together as brothers regardless of religion. The movement was part of the broader Swadeshi and anti-partition agitation that characterized early 20th century Bengal politics.
