Answer

$PF_3$ : polar $SBr_2$ : nonpolar $CHCl_3$ : polar $CS_2$ : nonpolar

Work Step by Step

$PF_3$ is polar due to the presence of the lone pair on P atom. $SBr_2$ is nonpolar because it is tetrahedral with symmetrical lone pairs on S atom. $CHCl_3$ is polar due to different polarities of the C-Cl and C-H bonds. $CS_2$ is nonpolar because it is linearly symmetrical.
