The correct answer is: Na2B4O7

Na2B4O7 gives H3BO3 and NaOH (strong base) in water.

So, it is a salt of strong base and weak acid. So, its solution will be strongly basic in water. It will have very high pH.

Lithium borohydride and sodium borohydride reacts with water to produce hydrogen.

And diborane act as lewis acid.
