Solution

The correct answer is B. H3BO3 is a Monobasic and weak Bronsted acid.

Here's why:

  1. Monobasic Acid: An acid that donates only one proton (H+) per molecule in a solution is called a monobasic acid. H3BO3, also known as Boric Acid, is a monobasic acid because it can donate only one proton per molecule in a solution.

  2. Weak Bronsted Acid: According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that can donate a proton (H+) to another substance. A weak acid is one that doesn't completely ionize in a solution, meaning it doesn't donate all its protons to the solution. H3BO3 is a weak Bronsted acid because it doesn't completely ionize in a solution.
