Solution

The correct option is D CH3Cl
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.

Hence, the correct option is B
