Answer:

Option B. +3 and +6

Explanation:

<em>Zeff</em> = <em>z - s</em>

where <em>z</em> is the atomic number, <em>s</em> is the number of shielding(non-valence) electrons

For Boron, electronic configuration is 1s²2s³.

z = 5, s = 2

Zeff = 5 - 2 = +3

For Oxygen, electronic configuration is 1s²2s²2p⁴

z = 8, s = 2

Zeff = 8 - 2 = +6

The correct answer is -

FALSIFIABLE:

Aloe vera gel can heal wounds by boosting cell renewal.

Drinking aloe juice can reduce the risk of lung cancer.

NON-FALSIFIABLE:

Aloe vera gel is the best natural skin moisturizer.

Aloe vera juice tastes better than carrot juice.

Explanation:

Falsifiable is the ability or chances of any hypothesis, claim or statement to be proved wrong. In such a hypothesis, it is possible to carry an experimental observation that disproves the idea in claim or question.

In the given examples

Aloe vera gel can heal wounds by boosting cell renewal.

Drinking aloe juice can reduce the risk of lung cancer.

There is no observation in the favor of the claim so there more likely to be falsifiable whereas, Aloe vera gel is the best natural skin moisturizer.

Aloe vera juice tastes better than carrot juice are more non-falsifiable as these are based on personal choice or experimental observation.
