  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Polarity depends on molecular geometry and whether bond dipoles cancel out.: Trigonal planar, dipoles cancel ().: Tetrahedral, dipoles cancel ().: Square planar, dipoles cancel ().: See-saw geometry (due to one lone pair). The bond dipoles do not cancel, resulting in a net dipole moment ().
