Solution

The correct option is D $C O_{2}$ is a linear molecule.
$C O_{2}$ has the structure as $O = C = O$ in which there is bond dipole moment (C-O bond). But, as the dipole moment of one bond is cancelled by other, the structure of $C O_{2}$ is a linear. So, $C O_{2}$ has zero dipole moment because it is a linear molecule.
