The correct answer is:
$\mathrm{HPO}_3$
The molecular formula of metaphosphoric acid is $\mathrm{HPO}_3$. It's structure can be given as :
It has general formula $\left(\mathrm{HPO}_3\right)_n$.
where, $n$ denotes number of phosphoric acid units present in the ring, with $n=3$ or more.
In metaphosphoric acid oxidation state of phosphorus is +5 with less number of $\mathrm{H}$-atoms.
