Solution

Correct option is

Monobasic and weak Lewis acid

The boron atom in boric acid, H3BO2 is electron deficient i.e., boric acid is a Lewis acid with one p-orbital vacant. There is no d-orbital of suitable energy in boron atom. So, it can accommodate only one additional electron pair in its outermost shell.
