Detailed Solution

(i) Only homonuclear diatomic molecules have zero dipole moment. Ex: molecules such as Br2 and N2 have no difference in electronegativity, so their dipole moment is zero.

(ii) O=c=0         non plorar        μ=0

(iii) dipole moment is due to the polarity of covalent bonds. Ex: HCl has non zero dipole moment.

Hence, the correct option is  (C)
