Solution
The correct option is B Hybridization of B is changed BF3+:NH3→[F3B←:NH3]
Here, the hybridization of N (sp3) is the same before and after the reaction since the steric number is 4 before and after the reaction. But the hybridization of B is changed from sp2 to sp3 because of the increase in the steric number from 3 to 4.
