Explanation
The chronological sequence of the events is as follows: The Partition of Bengal was officially declared by Lord Curzon on July 19, 1905, and came into force on October 16, 1905 [5]. It was a colonial strategy aimed at reorganizing administrative boundaries while weakening the nationalist nerve center [5]. The Chauri-Chaura incident occurred on February 5, 1922, in the Gorakhpur district of the United Provinces, where a clash between a mob and police led to the death of 22 policemen and the subsequent withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation Movement by Mahatma Gandhi [4]. The First Round Table Conference was formally inaugurated by King George V in London on November 12, 1930, to discuss constitutional reforms and dominion status for India [5]. Therefore, the correct chronological order is 1905, 1922, and 1930, corresponding to sequence 1-2-3.
