A) Yes
b) No although C-F is polar the molecule is symetrial so all dipole movements cancel each other out.

b is actually nonpolar. Each bond is polar, but since they are all equally polar in different directions, the overall compound is nonpolar.

All of them except b. CF4 is nonpolar, for the same reason that d is.

I know C and D are correct because I had those on my Capa question and I got it right, so put those downs
