Solution

The correct option is C $B_{2} H_{6}$
The given reaction is a preparation method for diborane $B_{2} H_{6}$ .
When the sodium borohydride $N a B H_{4}$ is reacted with boron trifluoride $B F_{3}$ in ether solution at $450 K$ , it results in the formation of diborane gas.
$3 N a B H_{4} + 4 B F_{3} e t h e r - -- \to 3 N a B F_{4} + 2 B_{2} H_{6}$
