Solution
The correct option is D All of these Symmetrical molecules have zero dipole moment. C6H6 is a cyclic compound. Dipole moment vectors cancel out each other and hence, the net dipole moment is zero. Similarly, CCl4 and BF3 (as shown) are also symmetrical molecules and thus have zero dipole moment.
