The geometry around boron in the product 'B' formed from the following reaction is

BF3+NaH450 KA+NaF

A+NMe3B

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

2BF3+6NaHB2H6A+6NaF

In this reaction hydride ions replace the fluoride ions. and diborane is formed, which is a Lewis acid due to incomplete octet. It breaks symmetrically with bases like tertiary amines.

B2H6+2Me3N2Me3N+BBH3- 

In this product geometry around Boron will be tetrahedral. And it will have sp3 hybridisation.
