The atomic weight of oxygen is 16. The atomic weight of the element X can be either 7 or 14.

If atomic weight of element, X is 14 then one mole of O combined with one mole of X, hence formula becomes XO. If atomic weight of element, X is 7 then one mole of O combined with two moles of X, hence formula becomes X2O.
Thus option C is the correct answer.
