Answer: (A) 1905

The Carlyle Circular was issued on 22 October 1905 by R.W. Carlyle, the Chief Secretary of Bengal, in response to the anti-Partition agitation. It threatened to withdraw government assistance from any college whose students violated government orders, effectively penalising educational institutions for student participation in the swadeshi movement.
