Solution

The correct options are
A P4O10 is a more powerful dehydrating agent than Cl2O7 and I2O5
B Cl2O7 is the product of dehydration of HClO using P4O10
P4O10 is the most powerful dehydrating agent.

Cl2O7 is the product of dehydration of HClO4 by P4O10, the reverse reaction cannot be expected to proceed.
12HClO4+P4O104H3PO4+6Cl2O7

Since, I2O5 can be prepared by heating HIO3, it cannot have too great an affinity for water.
2HIO3ΔI2O5+H2O

Hence, the correct order is: P4O10>Cl2O7>I2O7
