Solution

The correct option is A True
$O_{2}$ , $O_{2}^{-}$ and $O_{2}^{+}$ all are paramagnetic.
$O_{2}$ , $O_{2}^{-}$ and $O_{2}^{+}$ contains 2, 1 and 1 unpaired electrons.
If a molecule contains unpaired electrons, then it is paramagnetic.
If all electrons are paired, then the molecule is diamagnetic.
