Solution

The correct option is D CH3Cl>CH3F>CH3Br>CH3I
Dipole Moment=Charge×Distance
Dipole moment depends on the electronegativity of the elements as it is the product of charge on one of the ions and the distance between them. The dipole moment of CH3Cl is greater than CH3F due to more charge separation.
