Explanation
To determine the correct sequence, we must look at the years each event occurred.
First, the Partition of Bengal (IV) took place in 1905 under Lord Curzon.
Second, the Lucknow Pact (I) was signed in 1916, marking an agreement between the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League.
Third, the Rowlatt Act (III) was passed in March 1919, which allowed for the internment of suspects without trial.
Fourth, the Introduction of Dyarchy (II) was part of the Government of India Act 1919, also known as the Montagu Chelmsford Reforms, which was enacted later in 1919 and implemented in 1921.
The correct chronological order is IV, I, III, II. Therefore, option B is correct.
