Solution

The correct option is A disproportionation
${0 P}_{4} + 3 N a O H + 3 H_{2} O ⟶ 3 N a (H_{2} + 1 P O_{2}) + - 3 P H_{3}$

Clearly, this is a disproportionation reaction. On the left hand side, elemental phosphorus has oxidation state 0. In $P H_{3}$ oxidation state of phosphorus is -3. In sodium hypophosphite, the oxidation state of phosphorus is +1.
