Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Generally, alkali and alkaline earth metals form oxides, peroxides and superoxides. There is a single bond between O and O in peroxides. In superoxides, there is a three-electron bond between two O atoms.

Therefore, the assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect.

Hence, option C is correct.
