True - Boron fluoride do obey the octet rule

Step-by-step explanation:

BF3 follows the octet rule because Boron has 3 electrons on its outer shell and it can give out one electron each to the 3 fluorine atoms. This gives each Fluorine ion eight electrons and Boron ends up with no electrons on the outer shell.
