Answer

$Cl_2$ and $F_2$ are non polar. $NF_3$ and $ClF$ are polar

Work Step by Step

$Cl_2$ and $F_2$ do not have polar interaction since 2 atoms are the same in each case. $ClF$ has polar interaction since $F$ is more electronegative than $Cl$. $NF_3$ has polar interaction due to its structure with the lone pair as shown in structure.
