Correct answer: D

  1. Identify substance A

    The statement says:

    • On heating A at 573 K573\,\text{K}573K, we get red phosphorus.

    A well-known allotrope conversion is: white phosphorus→  573 K  red phosphorus\text{white phosphorus} \xrightarrow[\;573\,K\;]{} \text{red phosphorus}white phosphorus573K​red phosphorus

    Hence, A=white phosphorusA = \text{white phosphorus}A=white phosphorus

  2. Identify substance B

    The statement further says:

    • Red phosphorus on heating at 803 K803\,\text{K}803K under pressure converts to B.

    Another standard allotrope conversion is: red phosphorus→under pressure803 Kblack phosphorus\text{red phosphorus} \xrightarrow[\text{under pressure}]{803\,K} \text{black phosphorus}red phosphorus803Kunder pressure​black phosphorus

    The black phosphorus obtained under these conditions is α\alphaα-black phosphorus.

    Hence, B=α-black phosphorusB = \alpha\text{-black phosphorus}B=α-black phosphorus

  3. Match with options

    So,

    • A=A = A= white phosphorus
    • B=αB = \alphaB=α-black phosphorus

    This corresponds to Option D.

  4. Check all options briefly

    • A: β\betaβ-black phosphorus, white phosphorus →\rightarrow→ incorrect
    • B: white phosphorus, β\betaβ-black phosphorus →\rightarrow→ incorrect
    • C: α\alphaα-black phosphorus, white phosphorus →\rightarrow→ incorrect
    • D: white phosphorus, α\alphaα-black phosphorus →\rightarrow→ correct

Therefore, the correct answer is: D\boxed{\text{D}}D​
