Solution

The correct option is B 1.5 and paramagnetic
According to MOT the electronic configuration of O2 is:


σ1s2,σ1s2,σ2s2,σ2s2,σ2p2z,π2p2x=π2p2y,π2p2x=π2p1y
Bond order =12(Bonding electrons - anti bonding electrons)
Bond order =12(107)=1.5

Due to presence of unpaired electron it is paramagnetic.
