Answer:

A) linear

Step-by-step explanation:

The oxygen atoms are connected by a double bond. Each oxygen atom also has 2 electron-pairs. Pick one atom to look at and the surrounding areas of electron density. The left O has 3 areas of electron density - 1 atom and 2 electron-pairs. VSEPR predicts the electron-pair geometry of O2 is linear.
