Solution
Linguistic
Explnation:
The 1911 annulment reunited the Bengali-speaking districts into a single, large province. Simultaneously, separate provinces of Bihar and Orissa (which included Oriya and Hindi speakers) and Assam were carved out based on their respective languages to improve administrative manageability, thereby using language as the primary criterion for the new scheme.
