Solution
The correct answer is D.
Assertion (A) is correct. PH3 does have a lower boiling point than NH3. This is because NH3 forms hydrogen bonds, which are stronger than the van der Waals forces that PH3 forms, leading to a higher boiling point for NH3.
Reason (R) is not correct. The statement is incorrect because it's actually NH3 that forms hydrogen bonds, not PH3. PH3 forms weaker van der Waals forces. Therefore, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion.
