What net ionic equation describes the reaction when these solutions are mixed?

Given the equation: Na3PO4 (aq) + CaCl2 (aq) →

A. 2PO43 - (aq) + Cl - (aq) → Cl2 (PO4) 3 (s)

B. 2Ca2 + (aq) + Na + (aq) → NaCa2 (s)

C. Na + (aq) + Cl - (aq) → NaCl (s)

D. 2PO43 - (aq) + 3Ca2 + (aq) → Ca3 (PO4) 2 (s)

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The net ionic equation that will describe the reaction of the reactants when mixed is expressed as:

2PO43 - (aq) + 3Ca2 + (aq) → Ca3 (PO4) 2 (s)

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
