The pairs of species of oxygen and their magnetic behavior are noted below. Which of the following presents the correct description?

A
O $_2^ -$ , O $_2^{2 - }$ - Both diamagnetic
B
O⁺, O $_2^{2 - }$ - Both paramagnetic
C
O $_2^{ + }$ , O₂ - Both paramagnetic
D
O, O $_2^{2 - }$ - Both paramagnetic
