Solution

The correct option is A $C O_{2}$
$C O_{2}$ is a linear molecule, so our dipoles are symmetrical; the dipoles are equal in magnitude but point in opposite directions.

$C O_{2}$ has linear shape like shown in the image.

Due to this shape the dipoles of two oxygen atoms cancel each other and that is why $C O_{2}$ has

$0$ dipole moment.
