KO2 means K+O2-
here O2- is paramagnetic .according to molecular orbital theory O2- has one antibonding orbital is partial fill.i.e
1sigma s^2 , 1sigma*s^2,2sigma s^2,2sigma*s^2, 2sigma. px^2, pi 2py^2=pi2pz^2, pi*2py^2=pi*2pz^1
we show last in configuration of O2- has partially filled so KO2 is paramagnetic .

As KO2 is having lone pair of electrons therefore it is paramagnetic.
Please mark it as brainliest answer.
