The formation of the oxide ion, O2$$-$$(g) from oxygen atom requires first an exthermic and then an endothermic step as shown below:
O(g) + e$$-$$ $$ \to $$ O$$-$$(g);  $$\Delta $$fHo = $$-$$141 kJ mol$$-$$1

O$$-$$(g) + e$$-$$ $$ \to $$ O2$$-$$(g);  $$\Delta $$fHo = +780 kJ mol$$-$$1

Thus, process of formation of O2$$-$$ is isoelectronic with neon. It is due to the fact that,
A
O$$-$$ ion has comparatively smaller size than oxygen atom
B
oxygen is more electronegative
C
addition of electron in oxygen results in larger size of the ion
D
electron repulsion outweighs the stability gained by achieving noble gas configuration.
