Borax is converted into crystalline boron by the following steps:

          $\mathrm{Borax}\stackrel{\mathrm{X}}{\to }{\mathrm{H}}_3{\mathrm{BO}}_3\stackrel{∆}{\to }{\mathrm{B}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_3\underset{∆}{\overset{\mathrm{Y}}{\to }}\mathrm{B}$

X and Y are respectively :

1. HCl, Mg                                 
2. HCl, C
3. C, Al 
4. HCl, Al
