Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Calcutta (1906) Congress adopted a programme that explicitly endorsed Swadeshi, Boycott and National Education, and even introduced the term 'Swaraj' for the first time; these formed the contentious set of resolutions whose retention or rejection led to the Surat split in 1907 [1]. Historical accounts of the 1906 proceedings describe a resolution supporting the programme of swadeshi, boycott and national education, and show that the split revolved around these items when Moderates sought to drop them at the next session [2]. Opposition to the Partition of Bengal was a major issue in 1905 and earlier Congress sessions, but it was not listed among the four specific resolutions at Calcutta in 1906, so "Annulment of partition of Bengal" was not one of those four resolutions [3].
