Detailed Solution

When phosphine is exposed to light, it breaks down in water to produce red phosphorous and H2, and when it is absorbed into a solution of copper sulphate or mercuric chloride, the matching phosphides are produced. 

3CuSO4+2PH3Cu3P2+3H2SO4

Hg3P2 is created when PH3 is absorbed by the HgCl2 solution.

3HgCl2+2PH3Hg3P2+6HCl

It produces precipitate of mercury phosphide 

Hence, option B is correct.
