Solution

The correct option is C O2218e
O2 has 8+8=16 electron so O22 will have 16+2=18 electron.
We know that for 18 electron the electronic configuration can be written as
1s22s22p63s23p6 there we can see that all orbitals s and p are fully filled s has 2 electrons and all p has 6 electrons so fully filled.
So correct answer is C.
