What does this "one" represent?

What does this "one" represent?

This is from my book:
"The verb element(V) is the most 'central' element, and in all the examples above it is preceded by the subject(S). Following the verb there may be one or two objects(O) or a complement(C), which follows the object if one is present."

I'm wondering what one in "one is present" represents.
A object, or a complement?
Could you tell me, plase?

Maybe not directly related to your question, but I can't see how "or"

Thanks for pointing out that. That was my typo. "object(O), or a complement(C)", with "," was right.
Thanks GPY.
