The correct answer is option 1, Keshab Chandra Sen and Debendranath Tagore were the leaders of the two sections of the Brahmo Samaj after the death of Raja Rammohan Roy.

Option 2, Radhakanta Deb and Debendranath Tagore, is incorrect. Radhakanta Deb was a prominent member of the Brahmo Samaj, but he did not become a leader of one of the sections after Raja Rammohan Roy`s death.

Option 3, Keshab Chandra Sen and Radhakanta Deb, is also incorrect. While Keshab Chandra Sen was indeed a leader of one of the sections, Radhakanta Deb did not become a leader of the other section.

Option 4, Debendranath Tagore and Radhakanta Deb, is incorrect. Debendranath Tagore was a leader of one of the sections, but Radhakanta Deb did not become a leader of the other section.

It is important to note that after the split, Keshab Chandra Sen led the Brahmo Samaj of India, which embraced a range of liberal ideas and practices, while Debendranath Tagore led the Adi Brahmo Sam
