The answer to the given question out of the four options provided is given by:

Option a. Hydrolysis products are more resonance stabilized.

Explanation:

The answer selection to the above question can be justified as Phosphoanhydride on hydrolysis releases free high energy as the bonds formed by phosphoanhydride are the bonds with high energy.

Therefore, the product of hydrolysis after releasing this energy is more resonance stabilized.
