Identify the correct statements with reference to the given reaction

1.	Identify the correct statements with reference to the given reaction P_(4)+3OH^(-)+3H_(2)OtoPH_(3)+3H_(2)PO_(2)^(-)
Answer» Phosphorus is undergoing reduction only. Phosphorus is undergoing OXIDATION only. Phosphorus is undergoing oxidation as well as reduction. HYDROGEN is undergoing neither oxidation nor reduction. Solution :`overset(0)(P_(4))+overset(-2)(3O)overset(+1)(H^(-))+overset(+1)(3H_(2))overset(-2)(O)tooverset(-3)(P)overset(+1)(H_(3))+overset(+1)(3H_(2))overset(+1)(PO_(2)^(-))` Oxidation number of Hydrogen is (+1) so (D) is correct. Oxidation number of P is 0 into -3 and (+1) so ( C) is right
