Solution
The correct option is B Chlorine Cl molecules are covalent in nature so it is non polar molecule. Non polar compound consists of molecules linked through chemical bonds arranged in such a way that the distribution of charges are symmetrical. Non polar bonds do not exhibit polarity and do not form ions in their solution. These compounds do not dissolve in water which is a polar molecule.
