The correct answer is: (a)-(iv), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(i)
(a) Borax $-\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~B}_4 \mathrm{O}_7 \cdot 10 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ or $\mathrm{Na}_2\left[\mathrm{~B}_4 \mathrm{O}_5(\mathrm{OH})_4\right] \cdot 8 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
(b) Kernite $-\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~B}_4 \mathrm{O}_7 \cdot 4 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
(c) Orthoboric acid $-\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{BO}_3$
(d) Borax bead $-\mathrm{NaBO}_2$
(obtained by heating of borax)
$\mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~B}_4 \mathrm{O}_7 \cdot 10 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \stackrel{\Delta}{\stackrel{-10 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}{\longrightarrow}} \mathrm{Na}_2 \mathrm{~B}_4 \mathrm{O}_7 \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{NaBO}_2+\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{O}_3$
