The electronic configuration of the molecules are:

O_{2}- \sigma 1s^{2}\sigma ^{*}1s^{2}\sigma 2s^{2}\sigma ^{*}2s^{2}\sigma 2p_{z}^{2}\pi 2p_{x}^{2}=\pi 2p_{y}^{2}\pi^{*} 2p_{x}^{1}=\pi^{*} 2p_{y}^{1}\quad BO=\frac{10-6}{2}=2

He_{2}- \sigma 1s^{2}\sigma ^{*}1s^{2}\sigma 2s^{2}\sigma ^{*}2s^{2}\quad BO=\frac{4-4}{2}=0

Li_{2}- \sigma 1s^{2}\sigma ^{*}1s^{2}\sigma 2s^{2}\quad BO=\frac{4-2}{2}=1

C_{2}- \sigma 1s^{2}\sigma ^{*}1s^{2}\sigma 2s^{2}\sigma^{*}2s^{2}\pi 2p_{x}^{2}=\pi2p_{y}^{2}\quad BO=\frac{8-4}{2}=2

The bond order of the He2 molecule is zero and hence it does not exist

Therefore, Option(2) is correct.
