Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Sodium borohydride, NaBH4 is a reducing agent. The conversion of a carbonyl to carboxylic acids is an oxidation reaction.

Sodium borohydride, NaBH4 does not perform an oxidation reaction, it is only used for reduction reactions. Hence the statement in the question is false.
