Correct options are A) , B) , C) and D)

Phosphine is produced industrially by reaction of white phosphorous with sodium/potassium hydroxide producing sodium or potassium phosphite as a byproduct.



The thermal decomposition of hypophorous acid to produce phosphine is phosphorous acid. This reaction takes place at a temperature of



Orthophosphorous acid also gives phosphine when heated



Calcium phosphide when reacted with excess of water to produce calcium hydroxide and phosphine gas.



Thus, all four options are correct.
