Answer
A molecule may be homonuclear, that is, it consists of atoms of a single chemical element, as with oxygen $(\ce{O2}$ or $\ce{N2})$, or, it may be heteronuclear, a chemical compound composed of more than one element, as with water $(\ce{H2O}$ or $\ce{CO2})$.
Out of all the options, $O$ represents a single oxygen atom and not a molecule.
