Detailed Solution

Due to back donation C-O bond length in given compounds is longer than free CO molecule. PF3 is better n-acceptor than CO, hence back donation is more favoured towards PF3 rather than CO and PF3 is better n-acceptor than PCl3 hence π-donation is more favorable in (P) than (Q). Hence, CO length in (P) is shorter than (Q). Due to less n-donations towards CO or C bond is longer in (P) than (Q).

Hence correct option is (a, b, c, d).
