Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Al forms [AlF6]3 but B does not form [BF6]3.

B lacks d orbitals. Hence, it cannot have more than 8 electrons in its valence shell. Hence, it cannot form [BF6]3.

B reacts with fluorine to form [BF3].

Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

The correct option is C.
