Detailed Solution

We are comparing P₄O₆ and P₄O₁₀.

P₄O₆

Each phosphorus is bonded to 3 oxygen atoms.

When it reacts with water, it forms phosphorous acid, H₃PO₃.

P₄O₁₀

Each phosphorus is bonded to 4 oxygen atoms.

When it reacts with water, it forms phosphoric acid, H₃PO₄.

So the correct statement is:

Both P₄O₆ and P₄O₁₀ form oxoacids H₃PO₃ and H₃PO₄, respectively.

That’s why option C is correct.
