Solution

The correct option is B CO2(g)
The expression CO2 can be used to designate a linear nonpoplar molecule that contains polar bonds.
O=C=O is linear in structure as C atom is sp hybdridized.
C=O bonds are polar but individual C=O bond dipoles cancel each other. Due to this, the molecule is non polar.
