You can have a look at the documentation on 
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/ which lists the C++ min. level that 
libraries require.

Some are missing, you may check their respective docu and/or open an 
issue in their repos.

To summarize:
- Libraries decide on their own what they require
- If Boost.X uses Boost.Y and Boost.Y requires C++11, then so does 
Boost.X (obviously)
- Many libraries enable additional features on newer standards
- The level listed on the above page list the minimum required for the 
library to compile/work at all

FWIW: Using C++03 in 2021 is an anachronism. Seriously: Save yourself 
the pain and go to C++11 at least.
