The bond length follows the order O2+ < O2 < O2- < O22- According to this the possible values are 1.12 mathringA, 1.21 mathringA, 1.30 mathringA, 1.49 mathringA

Q. The internuclear distances in $O - O$ bonds for
$O_{2}^{-}, O_{2}, O_{2}^{-}$ and $O_{2}^{2 -}$ respectively are:

$1.30 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.49 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.12 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.21 \overset{˚}{A}$

$1.49 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.21 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.12 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.30 \overset{˚}{A}$

$1.21 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.12 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.49 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.30 \overset{˚}{A}$

$1.21 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.21 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.30 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.49 \overset{˚}{A}$

The bond length follows the order
$O_{2}^{+} < O_{2} < O_{2}^{-} < O_{2}^{2 -}$
According to this the possible values are
$1.12 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.21 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.30 \overset{˚}{A}, 1.49 \overset{˚}{A}$
