Detailed Solution

O2 have same magnetic nature whether sp mixing is operative or not,
When the energies of the s and p orbitals are comparable, s-p mixing takes place. As a result, the 2p orbitals for O have a greater energy than those for B and C. Because of this, B2 and C2 do have s-p mixing but O2 has very little (insufficient to modify the energy ordering).
