Solution

The correct option is D CH3Cl

NameMolecularDipole MomentFormula(debyes, D)ChloromethaneCH3Cl1.87DichloromethaneCH2Cl21.60TrichloromethaneCHCl31.01TetrachloromethaneCCl40

With the increase in the number of CCl bonds, dipole moment decreases due to the cancellation of the polarity vectors of CCl bonds by each other and it is zero in the case of tetrachloromethane.
