Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
There is a very little difference in acidic strengths of $H_{3} P O_{4}, H_{3} P O_{3}$ and $H_{3} P O_{2}$ because number of unprotonated oxygen $(= O)$ responsible for increase of acidic strength due to inductive effect remains the same.

So, Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Hence, Option "A" is the correct answer.
