Detailed Solution

The σ-donating ability and π-acceptor ability of phosphines are inversely correlated in the sense that electron-rich phosphines, such as PMe3, are good σ-donors and poor π-acceptors, whereas electron-poor phosphines, such as PF3, are poor σ-donors and good π-acceptors. Thus, π-accepting tendency order:

PCl3>PhPCl2>Ph2PCl>Ph3P

CO B.S.more vcaCO higher  B.S.less v lower 

Hence, option D is correct.
