Detailed Solution

The electronic configuration of O2 is
[σ(1 s)]2[σ*(1 s)]2[σ(2 s)]2[σ*(2 s)]2[σ(2pz)]2[π(2px)]2[π(2py)]2[π*(2px)]1[π*(2py)]1
By accepting one electron O2is converted to O2-
The electronic configuration of O2- is
[σ(1 s)]2[σ*(1 s)]2[σ(2 s)]2[σ*(2 s)]2[σ(2pz)]2[π(2px)]2[π(2py)]2[π*(2px)]2[π*(2py)]1
The incoming electron of O2- will be enter into the [π*(2px)] orbital.

Hence, the correct option is (A)
