Detailed Solution

BF3​

In BF3​, the dipole moments cancel each other. Hence it does not have a permanent dipole moment.

SF4​

The hybridization of a SF4 molecule is sp3d, thus a seesaw structure (bent because of lp-lp repulsion) and thus having a net dipole moment.

SiF4​

In SiF4​ the dipole moments cancel each other. Hence it does not have a permanent dipole moment.

XeF4-has a planar structure, so it is non-polar

SF4 - has a permanent dipole.
