a

LUMO orbitals is in N2 molecule have one horizontal plane along inter nuclear axis and are one vertical plane

b

O2 molecule is paramagnetic if inter mixing of 2s-2p Orbitals takes place

c

C2  molecule has four electrons in HOMO which is responsible for two π bonds

d

when 2s-2p orbital mixing is not possible in  C2 it is paramagnetic containing one sigma one pi bond and paramagnetic

answer is A, B, C, D.

If inter mixing is possible 
 KK<σ2S2<σ*2S2<πx=πy<σPZ<π*x=π*z<σ*2pz
If inter mixing not possible 
KK<σ2S2<σ*2S2<σpz<πx=πy<π*x=π*z<σ*2pz 
HOMO = highest occupied  molecular orbitals 
LUMO = Lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals
