Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Which amongst the following is an incorrect statement?

A. $O_{2}^{+}$ ion is diamagnetic✓
B.The bond orders of $O_{2}^{+}$ , $O_{2}$ , $O_{2}^{-}$ and $O_{2}^{2 -}$ are 2.5, 2, 1.5 and 1, respectively
C.The $C_{2}$ molecule has four electrons in its two degenerate $π$ molecular orbitals
D. $H_{2}^{+}$ ion has one electron

You have the answer. The worked solution — and why the other three were written — is part of a paid pack.
