Explanation:

$H_3PO_4$ is a common inorganic acid. The naming of acids follows certain rules. For oxy - acids (acids containing oxygen), if the central atom (in this case, phosphorus) has a common oxidation state, we use the root name of the central atom and the suffix “-ic” for the acid. Phosphorus forms an oxy - acid $H_3PO_4$ where the oxidation state of P is + 5 (a common oxidation state for P in oxy - acids).

Answer:

Phosphoric acid
