The question asks about the famous Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress in 1906, where four resolutions were passed. The disagreement over the retention or rejection of these resolutions led to a split at the Surat session in 1907. The four resolutions were associated with the strategy of the Indian National Congress during the Swadeshi movement and did not include the Annulment of the partition of Bengal, hence option 1 is the correct answer.

Option 1: "Annulment of partition of Bengal" is the correct answer because this issue was not one of the four resolutions passed in the Calcutta session in 1906. It was a major issue for Indian nationalists, but it was not the subject of one of the resolutions in discussion.

Option 2: "Boycott" was one of the resolutions passed, supporting the idea of boycotting British-made goods as a form of protest.

Option 3: "National education" was another resolution which aimed for the establishment of national schools and colleges to foster an Indian-led education system.

Option 4: "Swadeshi" was a resolution that encouraged the use and promotion of locally made goods to weaken Britain`s economic hold over India.
