Solution

The correct option is D It is a weak electrolyte
H3PO4 is a weak acid due to which its ionization constant is low. Since it is an acid, it has a sour taste and [OH]<107 M. It cannot be formed by reaction of metal oxide and water. Since it is a weak acid, it acts as a weak electrolyte also. Hence, H3PO4 is a weak electrolyte at 25oC
