Solution

The correct option is C $H C l$
In moist air, phosphorus pentachloride undergoes hydrolysis to first form $P O C l_{3}$ and then finally phosphoric acid.
$P C l_{5} + H_{2} O \to P O C l_{3} + 2 H C l$
$P O C l_{3} + 3 H_{2} O \to H_{3} P O_{4} + 3 H C l$
Hence, (a), (b) and (c) are formed.
