Solution

The correct option is D polar with negative end on Cl
The bond between chlorine and bromine in BrCl is polar with negative end on Cl. The bond is polar due to electronegativity difference between bromine and chlorine. Since chlorine is more electronegative than bromine, the bond pairs of electrons will be more attracted towards chlorine. So the negative end will be on chlorine.
