    A)  \[Li{{O}_{2}}\]                 

    B)  \[N{{a}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[K{{O}_{2}}\]                  

    D)  \[{{K}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    \[K{{O}_{2}}\] is used because it not only provides oxygen but also removes\[C{{O}_{2}}\]both of which are important life supporting processes. \[4K{{O}_{2}}+2C{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2{{K}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+3{{O}_{2}}\] \[4K{{O}_{2}}+4C{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}KHC{{O}_{3}}+3{{O}_{2}}\]
