Answer

A. non polar B. polar C. non polar D. polar

Work Step by Step

B and D are polar because those molecules have a dipole moment due to the difference in electronegativity values of the atoms. Since A and C have symmetrically balanced bonds, the electronegativities are evened out on all sides so no net dipole exists.
