C is the correct formula.

Iron, given the charge of 3, (III) combined with phosphate, which also has a charge of 3, causes them to cancel each other out, so there’s no charges that cross over. So the answer is C :)

Sorry if I didn’t explain this clear enough. If you need anymore help, feel free to ask
