Solution

The correct option is A Assertion is correct but Reason is wrong.
One molecule of $H_{3} B O_{3}$ can react with one molecule of base $N a O H$ to form one molecule of $N a B (O H)_{4}$ . Hence, $H_{3} B O_{3}$ is a monobasic acid.
$H_{3} B O_{3} + N a O H \to N a B (O H)_{4}$
$N a_{3} B O_{3}$ exists but it is not formed by the reaction of $H_{3} B O_{3}$ with $N a O H$ . However it is formed by the reaction of $H_{3} B O_{3}$ with ethanol followed by action of $N a O H$ .
$H_{3} B O_{3} + 3 C_{2} H_{5} O H \to (C_{2} H_{5})_{3} B O_{3} 3 N a O H - ------ \to - 3 C_{2} H_{5} O H N a_{3} B O_{3}$ .
