Boric acid is a weak monobasic acid. It is not a protonic acid but acts as a lewis acid by accepting electrons from a hydroxy ion.

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{B(OH)_3+240\; H \rightarrow\left[B(OH)_4\right)]^{-}+H_3 O^{+}} \end{aligned}

So, Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

Hence, Option (1) is correct.
