Solution

The correct option is C
3

The molecular formula of ammonium phosphate = ${({NH}_{4})}_{3} {PO}_{4}$ .
Here ammonium is a cation and phosphate is an anion.
Valency of ammonium (NH4⁺) = + 1 and Valency of phosphate(PO₄)^-3= - 3.
By exchange valency cation and anion form ${({NH}_{4})}_{3} {PO}_{4}$ .
Therefore option (c) is correct.
