Polar molecules are those in which (a) they have symmetric shape. (b) centre of mass of positive charges does not coincide with centre of mass of negative charges. (c) they have no permanent dipole moments. (d) centre of mass of positive charges coincide with centre of mass of negative charges.

Answer: (b). In a polar molecule the centres of positive and negative charge do not coincide, giving a permanent dipole moment. So the answer is (b).
