Detailed Solution

PCl3 is polar as per VESPER theory predicts geometry is trigonal pyramidal, because of lone pair of electron in its central atom P . It is asymmetric hence indicates molecule is polar hence it has dipole moment. The dipole moment of PCl3 is 0.97D.

while other three BF3, SF6 and CCl4 have symmetrical shapes due to which its dipole gets cancelled and hence net dipole moment is Zero.

Hence, the correct option is option (B) PCl3.
