Solution

The correct option is B Liquid
${P C l}_{3}$ is liquid under normal conditions. ${P C l}_{3}$ is a covalent compound. Phosphorus and each of the chlorine atoms fulfil their octet by mutually sharing their valence electrons. In general, covalent compounds have weak bond energy and hence they form liquid.
