Option (b) ${BiPO}_{4}$ Valency of Bi = 3 and Valency of PO₄ = 3
Explanation for the incorrect option-
Option (a) $CaCl$ Valency of Ca = 2 and Valency of Cl = 1, therefore formula will be CaCl₂
Option (c) ${NaSO}_{4}$ Valency of Na = 1 and Valency of SO₄ = 1, therefore formula will be Na₂SO₄
Option (d) $NaS$ Valency of Na = 1 and Valency of S = 1,therefore formula will be Na₂S
Therefore option(b) ${BiPO}_{4}$ is the correct answer.
