Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
Oxygen's most common allotrope is diatomic oxygen, or $O_{2}$ , a reactive paramagnetic molecule that is ubiquitous to aerobic organisms and has a blue color in its liquid state. Another allotrope is $O_{3}$ , or ozone, which is three oxygen atoms bonded together in a bent formation. There is also an allotrope called tetraoxygen, or $O_{4}$ , and six allotropes of solid oxygen including "red oxygen", which has the formula $O_{8}$ .
