Solution
The correct option is DCH3Cl The dipole moment of CH3Cl is the highest, as the dipole moment depends on the electronegativity of halogens and F has the highest among Cl,Br and I.
But due to less distance between F and C of CH3F, its dipole moment decreases.
The order of the dipole moment is CH3Cl>CH3F>CH3Br>CH3I.
