Solution

The correct option is A 1
P(OH)3 reacts as a base whereas Al(OH)3 is amphoteric in nature. It reacts as an acid as well as a base. It dissolves in acid, forming [Al(H2O)6]3+ (hexaaquaaluminium) or its hydrolysis products.
It also dissolves in strong alkali, forming [Al(OH)4] (tetrahydroxidoaluminate).
