The correct answer is:
A
Step 1: Analyze each species in List-I and determine their bond orders and magnetic properties.
A. N2 → N2+:
- The bond order of N2 is 3 (there are three bonds: one sigma and two pi).
- Removing an electron (which is typically from a pi bond) would generally maintain the bond order, but the magnetic property changes (since N2 is diamagnetic and N2+ is paramagnetic). This matches with (iv).

B. O2 → O22+:
- The bond order decreases from 2 to 1. The species tends to lose its paramagnetic property as it transforms into the O22+, which is diamagnetic. This matches with (ii).

C. B2 → B2+:
- The bond order increases from 1 (B2) to 2 (B2+), with no change in magnetic property (both are paramagnetic). This matches with (iii).

D. NO → NO:
- The bond order is 2 for both, but the addition of an electron results in a transition from paramagnetic to diamagnetic. This matches with (i).

Therefore, the final matching is:
A-(iv), B-(ii), C-(iii), D-(i). Thus, the correct answer is option A.
