C
3 only
D
1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Keshab Chandra Sen established the Indian Reform Association in 1870 and the Tabernacle of New Dispensation in 1881 following his split from the Brahmo Samaj, making statements 2 and 3 correct. Option (d) is the most tempting wrong choice, but statement 1 is incorrect because the Calcutta Unitarian Committee was founded in 1823 by Raja Ram Mohan Roy and William Adam. The core concept tested is the leadership and organizational evolution of 19th-century socio-religious reform movements, specifically the schisms within the Brahmo Samaj.
