From  PH3 to BiH3? the boiling points increase with the increase in molecular weights, due to the increase in Van der Waal's forces with molecular mass. However, the boiling point of NH3 ?> PH3 ?even though NH3? has a lower molecular mass than PH3?, due to the intermolecular hydrogen bonding in Ammonia that is not present in PH3? and other hydrides in Group-15.

Therefore, Option(2) is correct
