B)Cl-Cl

The two atoms that form a covalent bond have the same electrical charge. For a molecule to be polar there needs to be a difference in charge of at least 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cl-Cl bond is definitely non-polar as it forms a covalent bond with the same atom (aka same electronegativity)
