Detailed Solution

A derivative called sodium dihydrogen phosphate is formed by reacting mono- and diglycerides from edible sources with phosphorus pentoxide and then neutralizing the reaction with sodium carbonate.

As sodium hydrogen phosphate is heated, it first transforms into sodium pyrophosphate and then sodium metaphosphate.

2Na2PO4Na4P2O7Na4P2O7+H2O

Na4P2O72NaPO3+Na2OH2O2NaOH

Hence, option B is correct.
