The correct answer is option 4: Swadeshi and Boycott Movement.

During the freedom struggles in India, the partition of Bengal played a significant role in igniting the desire for independence. The partition of Bengal in 1905 by the British was seen as a deliberate attempt to divide the Hindus and Muslims in the region. This act led to widespread protests and sparked various movements aiming for freedom.

The Swadeshi Movement was launched as a response to the partition. Swadeshi, which means "of one`s own country" in Hindi, called for a boycott of British-made goods and promoted the use of Indian-made products. The movement aimed to promote self-reliance and self-sufficiency in India, encouraging people to support the local economy and industries. It also included the promotion of indigenous goods and the revival of traditional Indian practices.

The boycott aspect of the movement urged people to refuse to buy British goods and instead support Indian-made products. This boycott served as a strong protest against British colonial rule, as it hit the economic interests of the British Empire in India.

Though the Quit India Movement, Civil Disobedience Movement, and Non-Cooperation Movement were all significant parts of the freedom struggle, they were not directly initiated in response to the partition
