Solution

The correct option is C All are correct.
(a) Due to the presence of two unpaired electrons in anti-bonding molecular orbitals, $O_{2}$ is paramagnetic.
(b) $H_{2} O$ molecules have intermolecular H-bonding due to greater electronegativity of oxygen hence, $H_{2} O$ is liquid; $H_{2} S$ lacks H-bonding hence, gas
(c) Due to intermolecular H-bonding Boiling point of H $_{2}$ O is abnormally high.

Hence, the correct option is $A$
