Solution

The correct option is B $N a B H_{4}$ in $C_{2} H_{5} O H$
$N a B H_{4} / C_{2} H_{5} O H$ do not reduce acid (COOH), ester (COOR) & epoxide, as it is mild oxidising agent. it reduces only aldehyde to alcohol.

While the $L i A l H_{4}$ is strong oxidising agent it reduces the ester, acid, aldehyde and ketone.
