3. Indian Reform Association
    

Keshab Chandra Sen is associated with the establishment of which of the above?

Explanation:

• The Calcutta Unitarian committee was founded by Raja Ram Mohan Roy along with Dwarka Nath Tagore and William Adam. Keshab Chandra Sen was not associated with the establishment of the above committee. So, point 1 is not correct.
  
  
• On 24th January 1868, Keshab Chandra Sen laid the foundation stone of his new church, Tabernacle of New Dispensation. So, point 2 is correct.
  
  
• Keshab Chandra Sen founded the Indian Reform Association in 1870 at Calcutta. The objective was to put into practice some of the ideas Sen was exposed to during his visit to Great Britain. Its objective also included to create public opinion against child marriage. It represented the secular side of the Brahmo Samaj. So, point 3 is correct.
  
  

Therefore, option (2) is the correct answer.
