Answer : 3. "Garett Hardin "
Explanation :
The "Tragedy of the Commons" is a concept introduced by Garrett Hardin in a famous 1968 essay. It describes a situation where individuals, acting in their self-interest, deplete shared resources, leading to the detriment of the overall community. The term "commons" refers to resources that are accessible to everyone, and the tragedy occurs when individuals, motivated by personal gain, exploit these resources excessively, leading to their depletion or degradation. Hardin's work highlights the challenges of managing common resources and the need for collective action or regulatory measures to prevent the tragedy from occurring. This concept has been widely applied to environmental issues and resource management.

Answer : 4. "1905"
Explanation :
The Partition of Bengal occurred in 1905 when the British colonial administration decided to divide the province of Bengal in British India. The primary stated reason was administrative efficiency, but it had significant political implications. The partition led to widespread protests and opposition from various communities, particularly due to concerns about communal tensions and political motivations. In response to the widespread protests, the British government annulled the partition in 1911 and reorganized Bengal. The event had lasting effects on the political consciousness of the region and contributed to the development of political movements in India.
