The Reaction will be

2 \mathrm{BF}_3+6 \mathrm{NaH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6+6 \mathrm{NaF}

                                           \text{(A)}

\mathrm{B}_2 \mathrm{H}_6+2 \mathrm{NMe}_3 \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{BH}_3 \cdot \mathrm{NMe}_3

The geometry around Boron. In B is tetrahedral.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
