This is an unpivot, probably most easily explained by a UNION ALL:
SELECT id, name, 'A' as alphabets, a as alphabets_value, p_id
UNION ALL
SELECT id, name, 'B' as alphabets, b as alphabets_value, p_id
UNION ALL
SELECT id, name, 'C' as alphabets, c as alphabets_value, p_id
You can then WHERE to remove the nulls from this, and ROW_NUMBER to give yourself a fake U_id:
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY id, alphabets) as u_id, x.*
FROM
(
SELECT id, name, 'A' as alphabets, a as alphabets_value, p_id
UNION ALL
SELECT id, name, 'B' as alphabets, b as alphabets_value, p_id
UNION ALL
SELECT id, name, 'C' as alphabets, c as alphabets_value, p_id
)
WHERE
x.alphabets_value IS NOT NULL
Once you get to having a result set you want, INSERT INTO, UPDATE FROM or MERGE to get it into table B is quite trivial
