P–H bonds found in phosphorus acids have reducing properties. Thus, reducing property is directly proportional to number of P–H bonds. The structure of given oxoacids of phosphorus are as follows: H3PO2 contains 2P–H bonds which is maximum among the given options. Thus, H3PO2 has strongest reducing property.
