Nonpolar
Why:
Fluorine is more electronegative than sulfur, so the bond dipoles point toward fluorine. The six S-F bonds are arranged octahedrally around the central sulfur. F F

F-S-F
/ \
F F Because the octahedral geometry is symmetrical, the bond dipoles cancel, and the molecule is nonpolar, meaning that µ = 0. Source:

The molecule is nonpolar.
No, polar solutes are generally not soluble in nonpolar solvents.
Artificial flavors can be either polar or nonpolar, depending on their chemical structure. Some artificial flavors may have polar functional groups (such as hydroxyl or carbonyl groups), making them polar molecules, while others may have nonpolar structures, making them nonpolar molecules.
Molecules with many polar bonds are soluble in polar solvents.Also, molecules with none or few polar bonds (many non-polar bonds) are soluble in non-polar solvent. e.g Water is a polar solvent so substances with many polar bonds are soluble in it.
C2H2 (Ethyne or Acetylene) is nonpolar because the molecule has a linear geometry with symmetric electronegativity, resulting in an equal distribution of charge and no net dipole moment.
The dipole moment is zero in nonpolar molecules and non-zero in polar molecules due to electronegativity. Polar molecules have balanced electronegativity that will cancel one another out, while nonpolar molecules have unbalanced electronegativity causing dipole moments.

Out of the given compounds: CH4 (methane) is nonpolar and does not have a dipole moment. C2H6 (ethane) is also nonpolar and does not have a dipole moment. XeF4 (xenon tetrafluoride) is a polar molecule due to its square planar geometry with the fluorine atoms creating a net dipole moment. SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) is nonpolar and does not have a dipole moment. PH3 (phosphine) is polar due to the lone pair on phosphorus creating a net dipole moment.

Polar substances dissolve other polar substances, and nonpolar substances dissolve other nonpolar substances. A polar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance and a nonpolar substance cannot dissolve a polar substance.
