Borax bead test
\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{B}_{4} \mathrm{O}_{7} \overset{\Delta }{\rightarrow} 2\, \mathrm{NaBO}_{2}+\mathrm{B}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}
                                  Sodium
                                  metaborate

\mathrm{CoO+B_{2}O_{3}\overset{\Delta }{\rightarrow}Co\left ( BO_{2} \right )_{2}}
                                    Cobalt metoborate
                                      (blue)

Hence option (2) is correct.
