The correct answer is B because of the following reasons: Statement 1 is correct. Raja Ram Mohan Roy, the founder of Brahmo Samaj, was a strong critic of idol worship and advocated for the worship of one formless God. Statement 2 is correct. The movement discarded the mediation of a priestly class. It emphasized that individuals could connect with the divine directly and interpreted religious texts through human reason and logic. Statement 3 is incorrect. Brahmo Samaj did not believe in the infallibility of the Vedas. In fact, Raja Ram Mohan Roy and later leaders like Debendranath Tagore held that no religious scripture was error-free and that they should be subject to critical analysis. The doctrine that the Vedas are infallible was actually popularized by Swami Dayanand Saraswati and the Arya Samaj. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are accurate.
