In complex [H3N → BF3], both N and B attains sp3- hybridisation and acquires tetrahedral geometry

Q. Specify the coordination geometry around and hybridization of N and B atoms in a $1 : 1$ complex of $B F_{3}$ and $N H_{3} :$

N: Tetrahedral, $s p^{3}$ ; B: Tetrahedral, $s p^{3}$

N: pyramidal, $s p^{3}$ ; B: pyramidal, $s p^{3}$

N: pyramidal, $s p^{3}$ ; B: Planar, sp3 $s p^{3}$

N: Pyramidal, $s p^{3}$ ; B: Tetrahedral, $s p^{3}$

In complex $[H_{3} N \to B F_{3}]$ , both N and B attains $s p^{3} -$ hybridisation and acquires tetrahedral geometry
