A
$P _{4}$,$PCl _{5}$,$POCl _{3}$
💡 Explanation:
A translucent white waxy solid (A) reacts with excess of chlorine to give a yellowish white powder (B). Here B is $PCl _5$.$PCl _5$ reacts with organic compounds containing -OH group converting them into chloro derivative $POCl _3. $.$PCl _5$ on hydrolysis gives (C).C is $POCl _3$ and is finally $POCl _3$ converted to phosphoric acid.
So (A), (B) and (C) are $P _{4}$,$PCl _{5}$,$POCl _{3}$.
Hence option C is correct.
