Solution

The correct option is B (I), (II) and (III)
(I) O+2:(σ1s)2(σ1s)2(σ2s)2(σ2s)2(σ2pz)2(π2p2x=π2p2y)(π2p1x=π2p0y)
Bond order = 12(105)=2.5

(II) NO is isoelectronic with O+2 :
(σ1s)2(σ1s)2(σ2s)2(σ2s)2(π2p2x=π2p2y)(σ2pz)2(π2p1x=π2p0y)
Bond order = 12(105)=2.5

(III) N+2:(σ1s)2(σ1s)2(σ2s)2(σ2s)2(π2p2x=π2p2y)(σ2pz)1
Bond order = 12(94)=2.5

O+2,NO and N+2 have the same bond order i.e, 2.5 and have the same magnetic property having one unpaired electron.
