The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
I. Boron trihalides do not form dimeric structures, unlike AlCl3}.
II. Boron does not commonly exhibit +1 as a stable oxidation state.
III. Boron being a group 13 element has a maximum covalency of four due to its small size and absence of d-orbitals.
IV. Boron does not form BF6}\textsuperscript{−} ion because it cannot expand its octet (no available d-orbitals).
