A

S is correct but E is wrong.

B

S is wrong but E is correc.

C

Both S and E are correct and E is correct explanation of S.

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`H_(3)BO_(3)` is a weak Lewis acid.
`H_(3)BO_(3)+H_(2)OhArrB(OH)_(4)^(-)+H^(+)`
It does not donate proton rather in acceptors `OH^(-)` from water.
