B Correct answer
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect - Raja Rammohan Roy died in 1833 in Bristol, England, while the first inter-caste marriage under the Brahmo Samaj was arranged much later in 1862. The marriage was between the son of Debendranath Tagore and a girl from another caste, under the reforms initiated by Debendranath Tagore, not Rammohan Roy. Statement 2 is correct - Keshab Chandra Sen did indeed write 'Brahmodharma' in 1861 which enunciated the basic tenets of the Brahmo Samaj, outlining its theological and philosophical principles.
