Solution

The correct option is A CH3Cl>CH3F>CH3Br>CH3I
Dipole moment depends on the order of electronegativity of the central atom. The electronegativity order is F>Cl>Br>I but dipole moment in CH3F is less than CH3Cl because bond length is shorter in CH3F. Thus, correct order is CH3Cl>CH3F>CH3Br>CH3I
