The formed oxides will be - 

\mathrm{Li}+\mathrm{O}_{2}\textup{ (excess)} \rightarrow \mathrm{Li}_{2} \mathrm{O} \text { (Major oxides) }\mathrm{Na}+\mathrm{O}_{2}\textup{ (excess)} \rightarrow \mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{O}_2 \text { (Major oxides) }\mathrm{K}+\mathrm{O}_{2}\textup{ (excess)} \rightarrow \mathrm{K} \mathrm{O}_2 \text { (Major oxides) }

Therefore, the correct option is (2).
