A. `O_2 gt O_2 gt O_2 gt O_2^2`
B. `O_2 gt O_2 gt O_2 gt O_2^2`
C. `O_2^2 gt O_2 gt O_2 gt O_2`
D. `O_2 gt O_2^2 gt O_2 gt O_2`

Correct Answer - B
More the bond order more is the bond strength Correct order of bond order is :
`O_2^(+) gt O_2 gt O_2^(-) gt O_2^(2-)`
Therefore, correct order of bond strength is :
`O_2^(+) gt O_2 gt O_2^(-) gt O_2^(2-)`
