As we have learnt,

Due to strong crystalline lattice, boron has usually high melting point

The high melting point of boron is because of its icosahedral structure.

The melting point data is given below:

 \mathrm{B: 2453K,\quad Al:933K,\quad Ga: 303K,\quad In: 430K,\quad Tl:576K}

Therefore, option (3) is correct.
