Strong reducing behaviour of is due to:

  1. A
    High oxidation state of phosphorus
  2. B
    Presence of two groups and one bond
  3. C
    Presence of one group and two bonds
  4. D
    High electron gain enthalpy of phosphorus

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In the oxoacids of phosphorus, the reducing property is attributed to the presence of bonds. (Hypophosphorous acid) has a structure with one bond, one bond, and two bonds. The more bonds present, the stronger the reducing nature.
