| Assertion A : | Boric acid is a weak acid |
| Reason R : | Boric acid is not able to release \(\mathrm{H^+}\) ion on its own. It receives \(\mathrm{OH^-}\) ion from water and releases \(\mathrm{H^+}\) ion. |
| 1. | Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. |
| 2. | Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A |
| 3. | A is correct but R is not correct |
| 4. | A is not correct but R is correct |
