Step 1: Use concept of hydride donors and metal reactivity
Hydrogen gas is generally produced when:
Step 2: Analyze reactions
(1) Al + HCl → Metal + acid ⇒ releases H_2
(2) NaBH_4 + I_2 → Hydride reacts ⇒ releases H_2
(3) BF_3 + LiAlH_4 → Formation of complex hydride, no free H_2 gas
(4) Al + NaOH → Metal + base ⇒ releases H_2
Final Answer: \mathbf{(3)}
