Solution

The correct options are
A Both molecules have fractional bond order
B Both have odd $e^{-}$ bond in their structures
C Both are paramagnetic in nature
Both molecules have fractional bond order as bond order of NO is 1/2(8-3) = 2.5.
Due to a presence of unpaired electron both are paramagnetic in nature.
