Explanation:

•   Introduction of communalism into Indian politics by Lord Minto: it was introduced in 1909, Morley-Minto Reforms, it took place “AFTER” The split, hence irrelevant.
•   Foundation of Muslim League: Established in 1907, but not related to split among congress. Irrelevant.
•   Aurobindo Ghosh’s inability to be elected as the President of the Indian National Congress: In 1907, the extremists wanted either Tilak or Lajpat Rai to be president, so when Rasbehari Ghose was announced as president, the extremist resorted to violence. Hence Surat Split. “D” is also wrong
