Correct Answer:
B. 1909
The Morley-Minto Reforms, officially known as the Indian Councils Act of 1909, were indeed introduced in 1909. These reforms were a crucial legislative measure by the British Parliament aimed at introducing limited self-governance in British India. They expanded the legislative councils and notably introduced separate electorates for Muslims, significantly impacting Indian political landscape.

- Option C, '1911', is incorrect; the capital of British India was shifted from Calcutta to Delhi in this year.
- Option D, '1916', is incorrect; this year is associated with the Lucknow Pact.
- Therefore, 1909 is the precise year for the introduction of the Morley-Minto Reforms.
