Detailed Solution

Due to the absence of symmetry in PF3, in addition to the London dispersion force, there are additional dipole-dipole interactions and only one pair of electrons in the P orbitals, which prevents the dipoles from cancelling each other out.

AlF3 is ionic while BF3 and SiF4 are non-polar.
