Q. Which of the following will have the maximum dipole moment?

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes

Solution:

$CH_3Cl$ has higher dipole moment than $CH_3F$ due to much longer $C-Cl$ bond length than the $C-F$ bond. The much longer bond length of the $C-C$ bond outweighs the effect produced by lower electronegativity of $Cl$ than that of $F$.
