          (A)                                        (B)                                         (C)

Consider  (A)                         

Question Image

                     Equivalent (indistinguishable) structures

                   maximum dispersal of negative charge

consider   (B) :     possibility (I)

Question Image

Possibility (II)  

                       

Question Image

Possibility (III)  

                         

Question Image

(C) is much more unstable

Thus stability of H3PO2- > H2PO3- > H2PO4-

K_{a_1}\;of\;H_3PO_2>H_3PO_3>H_3PO_4

Other explanation:

-I effect of P=O group is distributed only on one -OH in H3PO2 where as on two -OH groups in H3PO3
