Detailed Solution

The dipole moment of  CH3ClCH3Br and CH3I decreases as the electro negativity of the halogen decreases. However, due to much smaller size of F as compared to that of CI, dipole moment (product of charge and distance) of CH3F is lower than that of CH3CI . Thus option (b) is correct.
