HCO2
Check all that apply:
Each oxygen atom has a double bond 50% of the time.
The actual structure of formate is an average of the two resonance forms.
Each carbon-oyxgen bond is somewhere between a single and double bond.
The actual structure of formate switches back and forth between the two resonance forms.

Did you omit the charge; should it be HCO2^-
1 is not true. 4 is not true. Both 2 and 3 are true.

The actual structure of formate is an average of the two resonance forms. Thus, each carbon–oxygen bond is somewhere between a single and a double bond.
Two and four are right.
