Solution

The correct option is D $N a B H_{3} C N$
Diborane is used to reduce carboxylic acids. It is also used in hydroboration of alkenes. The other popular reducing agents are $L i B H_{4}$ and $L i A l H_{4}$ . $N a B H_{3} C N$ is very useful to reduce imines and iminium ions to the corresponding amines.
