Question

In water orthoboric acid behaves as a weak monobasic acid giving H₃O⁺ and

Moderate

A

[B(OH)₄]⁺
B

H₂BO₂^–
C

[B(OH)₄]^–
D

H₂BO₂⁺

Solution

$B{\left( {OH} \right)_3} + {H_2}O\xrightarrow{{}}{[B{\left( {OH} \right)_4}]^ - } + {H^ + }$
H₃BO₃is not a protic acid and it is a lewis acid ,since it is accepting the electron pair.The liberated H⁺ is from water and not from boric acid.
