- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2

Explanation
Both statements are correct. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO), raised in 1960, constructs and maintains roads in strategically sensitive border and high-altitude areas (statement 1). It also undertakes snow clearance on high mountain passes such as Zoji La and Rohtang to keep them operational (statement 2). Hence both 1 and 2 — option C.
