is the distributed load applied along half of the length of the beam or the full length of the beam? it seems like the picture and the problem statement conflict.
The structure at point C is a constrained rotation end, which constrains the beam slope to be zero but does not constrain the displacement. This boundary condition has a reaction moment.
The roller at C allows free vertical motion (Cy = 0), so the beam reactions (By, MB) are statically determinant and can be solved without second order integration method or E & I. Is this wrong?

This has been corrected.

The roller allows free vertical motion but does not allow rotation, so there is a reaction moment at C, which makes it indeterminate.
