Dear Parveen Rawal
In my opinion, you can report everything you calculate if you clearly explain what you do and why. At first glance it seems reasonable to assume that the transition state of O2 activation is at the crossing of the two paths.

Thank you Prof. Giuseppe Mattioli.
I have a minor question regarding constraint magnetization. Can we report
the numbers obtained from constraint magnetization calculations? Like in my
case, I am trying to find a TS for O2 activation over a surface which I am
unable to find using starting magnetization.

Dear Parveen Rawal
It depends on the system, whose physics you only know. It seems
possible that a triplet ground state evolves in a different singlet
ground state through the minimum energy path represented by the two
low-energy branches of the two paths (the triplet one on the left of
the crossing point, the singlet one on the right of the crossing point).
