Hybridisation of B atoms in Borax are?

In the borate radical itself we see boron with two different sets of bond angles and therefore, with two different hybridizations. Where the bonding is trigonal planar, the hybridization is sp2, and where the bonding is tetrahedral, the hybridization is sp3. Therefore, (B) is the correct answer.
