The correct option is C

2, 4, 3 respectively


The elements are oxygen, red phosphorus and ozone; their atomicity is 2, 4, and 3 respectively.

The oxygen molecule has 2 atoms each. The ozone molecule has 3 oxygen atoms combined together in a molecule. And red phosphorus used in matchsticks has 4 phosphorus atoms combined together in a chain-like molecule.
